About Palau Foundation for World Evangelism
The Palau Foundation for World Evangelism centers its giving on evangelistic work and Gospel advancement, with a grant history that includes more than 600 grants to over 100 Christ-centered organizations totaling $8 million. Its recent awards show a pattern of support for ministries, churches, and evangelistic organizations, alongside related needs such as ministry training, building funds, pregnancy care, and prison ministry. The largest recent grant listed is $299,316 to the Luis Palau Association in Beaverton, Oregon for evangelistic ministry, followed by another large award of $263,409 to the same organization in 2023. That repeated support suggests an ongoing relationship with core evangelistic partners rather than one-off project funding. The foundation also backs a mix of local church ministries and specialized Christian organizations, including One Hope in Pompano Beach, Florida and Cru in Orlando, Florida. Across the recent grants, the foundation’s work reflects a clear emphasis on direct ministry support and faith-based organizational funding.
What Palau Foundation for World Evangelism Funds
Evangelistic ministry is the clearest throughline in the foundation’s recent giving. Along with the Luis Palau Association awards, it gave $75,000 to One Hope in Pompano Beach, Florida in 2024 and $50,000 to the same organization in 2023 for evangelistic ministry. The same theme appears in grants to Cru in Orlando, Florida, including $17,800 in 2024 and $15,500 in 2023. Beyond evangelism, the foundation supports local church ministry. It gave $45,000 to 26 West Church in Hillsboro, Oregon and $35,000 to Journey Church in Fern Park, Florida, both for church ministry. It also funded church construction and facilities-related work through a $28,600 grant to Co-Serve Int'l in Sandy, Oregon for a building fund. Training and care ministries also appear, including $22,750 to Co-Serve Int'l for a ministry training center and $15,000 to Obria Medical Clinic in Lebanon, Oregon for pregnancy care clinic support.
How Palau Foundation for World Evangelism Gives
Typical grants cluster in the five-figure range: the p25 is $10,000, the median is $15,500, and the p75 is $28,600. The recent grants list shows repeated awards to the same organizations across multiple years, including Luis Palau Association, One Hope, Cru, Cedar Mill Bible Church, and Cornerstone Church of Ione, which points to recurring support rather than isolated gifts. The foundation also appears to use multiple giving channels beyond standard grants, including donor-advised funds and charitable gift and estate planning vehicles. Its listed grant programs indicate unsolicited requests are not accepted for the main evangelism grantmaking program, while the donor-advised fund and memorial fund pages note unsolicited gifts are possible in those contexts.
