About National Church Residences
National Church Residences uses grantmaking to support its senior housing and care network, with recent awards flowing to communities such as the National Church Residences Foundation in Columbus and National Church Residences Homestead Van Wert OH in Van Wert. The organization’s giving aligns with its broader work in affordable senior housing, independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, home health services, caregiver support, spiritual and chaplaincy services, and Medicare and Medicaid navigation. In the recent grants list, the largest award was a $10,000,000 general support grant in 2023 to its foundation entity in Columbus, indicating that the funder’s own affiliates and related organizations are part of the grantmaking footprint. Other sizable grants support operating needs at senior living communities, including Traditions at Chillicothe and Hoover Place Senior Housing Limited Partnership. The pattern shows a funder supporting the day-to-day work of senior housing and care providers rather than short-term project funding alone. Several grants are labeled general support, while others are tied to FEMA pass-through activity, showing a mix of organizational support and federal-funds administration within the same senior-services system.
What National Church Residences Funds
A clear share of National Church Residences’ grantmaking is tied to senior living operations. For example, it gave $215,000 to Traditions at Chillicothe for general support and $200,000 to Hoover Place Senior Housing Limited Partnership for general support, both in 2025. The organization also backs communities with recurring operating support: Commons at Garden Lake received $107,456 in 2025 and $91,613 in 2023, both for general support. The foundation also appears in FEMA pass-through funding. In 2024, it awarded $333,516 to First Community Village for FEMA pass through, and it made similar grants to Bristol Village Homes and Traditions at Mill Run the same year. Another named grant shows support for care-navigation infrastructure: Care Coordination received $60,000 in 2023 for general support.
How National Church Residences Gives
Typical grants cluster in the mid-five-figure range, with a p25 of $45,358, a median of $76,416, and a p75 of $105,000. The recent record shows repeat support to the same recipients across multiple years, especially Commons at Garden Lake, Commons at Buckingham, Commons at Livingston, and Commons at Third, which points to ongoing operating relationships rather than one-time awards. National Church Residences is not an individual-giving funder and does not make program-related investments. Its active grant program, Enhanced Service Coordination, accepts unsolicited inquiries and is focused on service coordination, quality assurance, service coordinator management, Care Guide, and grant management and writing.
