About Moriah Foundation
Moriah Foundation’s recent giving shows a clear pattern: large support for Christian ministries, education, adoption-related work, and faith-integrated healing, often through unrestricted grants. The foundation’s biggest recent award went to Timberview Farmstead Inc in Fort Worth, Texas, at $3,744,437 for general support, followed by another major general-support grant of $2,399,411 to Cary Brown Family Foundation in Colorado Springs. Those two grants alone frame a funder that makes substantial bets on aligned organizations rather than spreading small checks broadly. Other large grants point to the foundation’s operating style and priorities. Focus on the Family received $585,000 in 2025 for vagus nerve research and $475,000 in 2023 for general support, while Show Hope received multiple awards for adoption aid and adoption support. The foundation also backed educational and ministry institutions such as Abilene Christian University, Pepperdine University, and Christian Community Foundation. Its stated purpose emphasizes teaching, training, counseling, support services, and inner healing that produces outward lifestyle change, which fits the mix of ministry, counseling, scholarship, and humanitarian themes seen in the grants record.
What Moriah Foundation Funds
Faith-based ministry support appears throughout the recent record. The foundation gave $585,000 to Focus on the Family in 2025 for vagus nerve research, then supported the same organization again with $255,000 in 2024 for general support and special events. It also gave $105,000 to Narrow Gate Foundation for ministry support and $65,000 to Texas Public Policy Foundation for general support. Education and scholarship support is another recurring theme. Abilene Christian University received $435,000 in 2023 for general support and $70,000 in 2025 for ministry support and scholarships, while Pepperdine University received $263,000 in 2023 for general support and $180,000 in 2025 for ministry support. The foundation also granted $115,000 to First Liberty Institute for general and scholarship support. Adoption assistance is a distinct strand as well. Show Hope received $310,000 in 2025 for adoption aid and $250,000 in 2023 for general support and adoption support, indicating continued attention to adoptive families and children.
