The Pete Morgan Foundation Trust concentrates its philanthropic dollars on Christian faith-based giving, primarily supporting a local church and channeling additional funds through a national Christian donor-advised organization. Nearly all recorded dollars go to religious causes, with substantial, unrestricted cash gifts that suggest general operating or ministry support. The foundation appears to favor a small number of large, direct gifts rather than many small grants.
Highly concentrated: only three grants totaling $550,000, dominated by two large gifts; repeat support to the same local church and use of a national Christian funder to route additional giving.
A defining feature of Pete Morgan Foundation Trust is its steady support for Wellspring Church, including a $300,000 gift in 2024 and a $150,000 gift in 2025. That recurring commitment stands out in a grant record made up almost entirely of cash gifts to Christian organizations and ministries. The trust also directed $100,000 in 2025 to National Christian Foundation, showing that part of its giving flows through faith-based donor-advised channels as well as direct local support. Across the most recent grants, the trust’s pattern is concentrated rather than broad. It made several six-figure and five-figure awards, often to organizations that appear to support ministry, discipleship, or Christian community work. Alongside Wellspring Church and National Christian Foundation, its recent recipients include Save Our Youth, Mordecai Network, Asone Ministries, Promised Land Living, Grace Honolulu, and Life Center Ethiopia. The record suggests a donor using sizeable cash grants to sustain a small set of religious organizations over time, with repeated support to some recipients across multiple years.
Christian faith-based giving is the center of the trust’s grantmaking. In addition to Wellspring Church, it gave $100,000 in 2025 to National Christian Foundation, indicating that some of its philanthropy is routed through a faith-oriented donor-advised platform. The trust also supports ministry organizations in different places. It gave $50,000 in 2025 to Save Our Youth in Denver and $35,000 in 2025 to Mordecai Network in Superior, both as cash gifts. Several other recent grants point to a wider Christian network. Asone Ministries in Sioux Falls received $25,000 in both 2024 and 2025, Promised Land Living in Schaumburg received $20,000 in 2024 and $25,000 in 2025, and Grace Honolulu received $10,000 in both years. That repeated pattern suggests continuing support for selected ministries rather than one-off awards alone.
The typical grant size is $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $22,500 at the median, and $30,000 at the 75th percentile, but the trust also makes larger awards that push annual totals much higher. The recent record shows repeat giving to several recipients across 2024 and 2025, including Wellspring Church, Asone Ministries, Promised Land Living, Grace Honolulu, and Life Center Ethiopia. Grants are cash gifts, with no evidence of program-related investments or individual giving. The trust appears to operate as a private foundation making direct, generally unrestricted support rather than running an application-based program.
