STEERing Money to Missions — a non-denominational Christian global missionary support organization that partners farmers and ranchers with mission organizations to raise ongoing support through agricultural and livestock projects.
Steer Inc’s giving is organized around missionary support that is funded through agriculture and livestock projects, not conventional program grants. The foundation describes itself as a non-denominational Christian global missionary support organization that partners farmers and ranchers with mission organizations to generate ongoing support. That structure shapes its philanthropy: U.S.-based evangelical mission organizations become member mission organizations, then receive proceeds from projects such as cow/calf, hog, sheep, goat, dairy, cotton, almonds, and crop arrangements. The largest recent grant in the data went to Cru in Orlando, Florida, at $121,696, followed by $93,977 to North American Baptist Worldwide Outreach in Roseville, California. Other sizable awards reached Fellowship of Christian Athletes in Kansas City, Missouri; Student Impact Internationalcampus Alliance in Escondido, California; and Child Evangelism Fellowship in Warrenton, Missouri. The recent list shows a consistent emphasis on missionary services, with recipients that include Bible translation, campus ministry, youth outreach, radio ministry, and church-planting organizations. Steer Inc also uses its own internal programs to support mission work and organizational operations, including a Dedicated Operations Fund, Legacy Fund, planned giving, and membership-based project participation.
Missionary services are the center of Steer Inc’s recent grantmaking. The foundation gave $40,875 to Wycliffe Bible Translators in Orlando for missionary services, $39,916 to Youth for Christ International Ministries in Englewood for missionary services, and $33,689 to Mission Aviation Fellowship in Nampa for missionary services. Those grants point to support for Bible translation, youth ministry, and logistics-heavy mission work. Their portfolio also includes campus and evangelism-oriented ministries. Steer Inc awarded $121,696 to Cru in Orlando, $71,875 to Fellowship of Christian Athletes in Kansas City, and $15,810 to Awana in St Charles, all tagged for missionary services. The foundation also backed church-planting and outreach organizations such as Village Missions in Dallas, Oregon, and Trans World Radio in Cary, North Carolina. Smaller awards reached groups tied to training and community-based faith work, including Back to the Bible International in Lincoln and Child Evangelism Fellowship in Warrenton.
