About Oldham Little Church Foundation
Oldham Little Church Foundation’s recent grantmaking is built around one clear purpose: helping small evangelical Protestant churches finish facility projects so their buildings can better serve worship and community witness. The foundation funds construction, repair, renovation, and completion work, with recent awards covering roofs, HVAC, seating, baptistries, windows, parking lots, and accessibility-related repairs. A $45,000 grant to South Union Missionary Baptist Church in Houston supported A/V equipment and chairs after a church fire, showing that the foundation will also back recovery work when a congregation needs help restoring function quickly. Other awards point to a consistent interest in practical building needs, from new roofs to emergency egress compliance. The foundation also extends support beyond church sanctuaries into related ministry settings, including college ministry housing and student support spaces. Recent grants to Houston Christian University and Rio Grande Bible Institute show that its facility support can overlap with faith-based education and residential ministry infrastructure. Across the record, the pattern is not broad philanthropy but targeted capital support for places used by churches, students, and ministry communities.
What Oldham Little Church Foundation Funds
Facility work is the center of Oldham Little Church Foundation’s giving. In 2025, it gave $25,000 to Iglesia Real in Hollywood, Florida, for a new roof, and $16,000 to Rock Springs CME Church in Elberton, Georgia, for stained glass windows and a new steeple. The foundation also supports safety and compliance projects: Chugach Bible Church in Anchorage received $17,000 for emergency egress needs and ADA compliance, along with painting and remodeling. Student housing is another recurring theme. NETS Center - Northeastern Theological Seminary got $22,500 for building materials and contractor costs to provide housing for additional residents, while Rio Grande Bible Institute received $20,000 for furnishings and appliances for student housing. These grants show a focus on physical spaces that support worship, residence, and ministry formation.
How Oldham Little Church Foundation Gives
Typical grants cluster in the five-figure range, with a p25 of $9,000, a median of $12,000, and a p75 of $14,250. The recent awards include both smaller completion grants and larger special-purpose gifts, which suggests a program built around specific project needs rather than standardized award levels. The foundation’s record also shows repeat funding to some organizations across different years, including MissionInvest USA in 2023 and 2024. It accepts unsolicited applications for its Facility Completion Grants program. Oldham Little Church Foundation is a grantmaking foundation rather than an operating charity, and it also funds individuals.
