This foundation concentrates nearly all of its giving on faith-based organizations in and around Mobile, AL, with large, general-purpose awards to a single dominant church and a small number of Christian education and child-welfare groups. Grants are substantial and unrestricted (listed as "General"), suggesting support for operating costs and institutional sustainability rather than project-specific funding. The foundation appears focused on evangelical Christian ministry, K–12 Christian schooling, and faith-based child welfare/foster-care work.
Highly concentrated: very few grants (5 total) with large amounts, repeat multi-year support to a single primary grantee (Mars Hill Church), plus a couple of sizable one-off gifts to local Christian school and child-welfare nonprofit.
A single church account dominates Nikki's Haven Foundation Fka Children of Grace Foundation’s recent giving: Mars Hill Church received $805,000 in 2025, $804,267 in 2024, and $803,640 in 2023. That repeated pattern makes the foundation’s priorities unusually clear. Alongside those annual awards, the foundation also backs a small set of Christian institutions and faith-based service organizations with substantial general-support grants. In the recent-grants list, Bayshore Christian School received $300,000, Kids to Love received $170,000, and Frontier Alliance International Inc received $50,000. The funding pattern points to support for religious ministry, Christian education, and child-welfare work rather than narrowly defined projects. Most of the listed awards are labeled general support or general, which suggests an emphasis on operating stability. The foundation’s annual giving total is a little over $3 million, so its recent activity reflects a relatively concentrated grantmaker with a few large relationships carrying most of the distribution. That concentration is also visible in the geography and recipient mix, which are centered on Alabama and on organizations with Christian affiliations.
The foundation’s clearest cause-area pattern is faith-based ministry support. Mars Hill Church received three large awards across 2023, 2024, and 2025, all described as general support or general. Christian education is another visible theme: Bayshore Christian School in Fairhope, Alabama received $300,000 in 2024 for general support. Child welfare appears as well, with Kids to Love in Madison, Alabama receiving $170,000 in 2024 on a general basis. A smaller set of grants extends beyond Alabama but stays within similar ministry-oriented work: Frontier Alliance International Inc in Ellerslie, Georgia received $50,000 in 2024, and Truth Quest Ministries in Tyrone, Pennsylvania received $25,000 in 2025. Across these examples, the foundation uses broad-purpose awards rather than tightly specified project grants.
Typical grant size is sizable: the recent distribution shows a p25 of $31,000, a median of $170,000, and a p75 of $551,820. The pattern is highly concentrated rather than widely dispersed, with one organization receiving repeated awards across 2023, 2024, and 2025. Most listed grants are labeled general support or general, indicating unrestricted or broadly designated operating support. The foundation is not a funder of individuals and is not shown making program-related investments. The available record suggests a local grantmaking profile anchored in recurring institutional relationships.
