The Proverbs 327 Foundation concentrates its giving on evangelical Christian ministry and faith-based education, directing large grants to churches, church-planting and parachurch ministries, and Christian schools/academies. Grants are typically sizable and targeted, often given repeatedly to the same organizations, indicating long-term operational support rather than one-off project funding. The foundation favors ministry growth, leadership/mission work and faith-based K–12 education over secular causes.
Proverbs 327 Foundation Agency 1045003895 makes large, repeated grants to evangelical Christian ministries and faith-based schools, with several recipients appearing across multiple years. The clearest signal in the recent record is a $1,000,000 general-fund grant to Lifewise Academy in 2025, alongside continuing support for organizations such as Search Ministries and Revive Church. That pattern points to sustained operating support rather than short-term project funding. The foundation’s recent giving also shows a strong interest in ministry growth and Christian education. Hope Academy received $500,000 in 2024 and another $500,000 in 2025, while Calvary Chapel Naples received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Resource Global, Fixed Point Foundation, and Mark Henry Ministries also appear more than once. The result is a portfolio centered on established evangelical organizations rather than a wide spread of one-time awards. Grant sizes are often substantial, and the same organizations can receive support in back-to-back years. The recent grants list shows a consistent emphasis on general funds and ministry support, with education appearing through Christian school and academy grants.
Faith-based education is a major thread in the foundation’s giving. Hope Academy in Minneapolis received $500,000 in 2024 and another $500,000 in 2025, and Hope Farm School in Stockholm, Wisconsin received $100,000 in 2025. Church and ministry support is another clear area. Revive Church in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota received $225,000 in 2023, $225,000 in 2024, and $225,000 in 2025, while Calvary Chapel Naples in Naples, Florida received $150,000 in 2023, $150,000 in 2024, and $150,000 in 2025. The foundation also backs evangelistic and mission-oriented organizations. Search Ministries in Fort Worth, Texas received $500,000 in 2023, $500,000 in 2024, and $500,000 in 2025, and Mark Henry Ministries in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota received $665,000 in 2023 and $100,000 in 2025.
Typical grant size is sizable: the 25th percentile is $40,000, the median is $87,500, and the 75th percentile is $200,000. The recent record also includes multiple six- and seven-figure awards, with repeated support to the same organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025. That recurring pattern suggests ongoing operating support for established recipients rather than one-time project grants. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
