About Provision Ministry
Provision Ministry Inc’s recent giving is defined by very large, repeat support for nonprofit partners that move food and essential goods through local networks. The single biggest grant in the file went to Liams Foundation International in the Bronx for $14,365,279, and World Vision Inc in Federal Way received $14,294,247 in 2025. Those awards sit alongside equally large commitments to Midwest Food Bank, which received $11,503,477 in 2025 and $8,063,933 in 2024. The pattern points to a funder that backs organizations already operating at scale and uses those relationships to equip them with resources for people they serve. That same approach shows up in the smaller, repeated grants as well. True North Community Church in Port Jefferson Station, New York, received multiple awards across 2023, 2024, and 2025, including funding tied to a purpose statement about equipping nonprofits with resources to maximize impact. In Massachusetts, grants to Project Just Because Inc, Springfield Rescue Mission Inc, and Hope for Worcester reflect a strong regional network of frontline providers. Provision Ministry Inc’s portfolio is organization-centered rather than individual-focused, and its largest awards are spread across food distribution and donated-goods partners with recurring support over several years.
What Provision Ministry Funds
Food distribution is central to the foundation’s work. Midwest Food Bank received $11,503,477 in 2025, and Central Food Ministry in Lowell received $936,697 in 2025, showing support for organizations that move food to local partners. They also fund donated-goods and basic-needs distribution. Project Just Because Inc in Holliston received $2,094,603 in 2025, while Springfield Rescue Mission Inc in Springfield received $1,668,522 in 2025, both part of a pattern of grants to nonprofits distributing essential items. A third theme is support for nonprofit infrastructure and capacity. Liams Foundation International in the Bronx received $14,365,279 in 2024 with a purpose statement about equipping nonprofit organizations with resources to maximize impact, and Compassion Coalition in Utica received $1,978,997 in 2023 with the same stated purpose.
How Provision Ministry Gives
Typical grants are sizable: the p25 amount is $63,799, the median is $249,208, and the p75 amount is $730,293. The file also shows repeat support over multiple years for several organizations, including Midwest Food Bank, World Vision, True North Community Church, Project Just Because Inc, Compassion Coalition, Hope for Worcester Inc, Springfield Rescue Mission Inc, and Yes We Care. That indicates recurring rather than one-off relationships. Provision Ministry Inc appears to operate as a private foundation-style grantmaker centered on organizational support; the data also shows no grants to individuals and no program-related investments.
