The Nutramax Family Foundation concentrates large gifts to Christian faith-based organizations, particularly local churches, ministry initiatives, and a regional Christian school. Grants are sizable and program-focused, suggesting the foundation prioritizes supporting religious programming, faith-based education, and ministry outreach rather than a broad spread of secular causes.
Concentrated, high-dollar grants to a small number of faith-based organizations; a mix of repeat funding (one grantee received multiple grants) and single large program grants rather than many small gifts.
Nutramax Family Foundation’s largest recent gifts go to Christian organizations and faith-based education, with several six-figure awards clustered in 2024. The foundation gave $250,000 to Sermon on the Mount in Anadarko, Oklahoma, and another $250,000 to Faith Hope & Victory Church in Lancaster, South Carolina, showing support for both ministry programming and local church work. It also backed Carolina Christian Academy in Lancaster with $242,700, alongside a $218,500 grant to Witness As Ministry, a pattern that points to sustained support for Christian teaching and outreach. Other recent awards extend that same profile to ministries, churches, and related organizations rather than a broad mix of secular fields. Grants to Answers in Genesis, Alliance Defending Freedom, Tim Lee Ministries, and Cedarville University fit within that same faith-aligned giving pattern. The foundation’s recent record shows a strong preference for program support, with gifts directed to operating needs and service delivery for organizations tied to evangelical Christianity, Christian education, and ministry activity. Lancaster appears repeatedly among the largest grantees, but the foundation also funds organizations in other states when they fit that faith-centered profile.
Christian education is a clear theme in the foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $242,700 to Carolina Christian Academy in Lancaster, South Carolina, and added $149,155 to the same school in 2023, indicating repeated support for the institution. Higher education also appears in the portfolio through $30,000 grants to Cedarville University in both 2023 and 2024. Ministry and church outreach form another major strand. The foundation awarded $250,000 to Sermon on the Mount for support program service and $218,500 to Witness As Ministry for the same purpose. Church-centered giving includes $250,000 to Faith Hope & Victory Church and $39,400 to Second Baptist Church, both in Lancaster. It also supported nonprofit service organizations with a faith orientation, including House of Pearls in Monroe, North Carolina, and Mission Serve in Cumming, Georgia.
Typical grant sizes sit at $2,250 at the 25th percentile, a median of $5,000, and $25,000 at the 75th percentile, with several grants far above that range. The recent record shows repeat support for a number of organizations across multiple years, including Carolina Christian Academy, American Opinion Foundation, Answers in Genesis, Simple Faith Ranch, House of Pearls, Cedarville University, Hope in Lancaster, and A Father’s Way. Every listed award is marked for support program service, which suggests a program-support orientation rather than restricted project-only giving. The foundation is a private family foundation, not an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments.
