About Stewardship Foundation
Stewardship Foundation’s recent giving shows a clear pattern: it backs Christian organizations that connect faith with practical service, especially in higher education, immigrant support, child welfare, and international development. One of its largest recent grants went to World Vision Inc for women-and-girls programming in Kenya and Zimbabwe, while another sustained Fuller Theological Seminary through student scholarships across multiple years. The foundation also supported World Relief’s work with immigrants in western Washington and The Veritas Forum’s efforts to equip university communities for dialogue about the Christian faith. Those grants sit alongside support for organizations working on maternal and child health, justice for women and children, and foster care services. Across the portfolio, the foundation uses both project-specific grants and operating support, which suggests it funds both defined initiatives and broader organizational capacity. Its stated focus areas include Christian leadership, poverty, reconciliation and justice, relational evangelism and discipleship, and children at risk, with a particular emphasis on Christ-centered organizations serving people who are poor, marginalized, disadvantaged, or without faith in Jesus Christ.
What Stewardship Foundation Funds
Christian leadership and campus ministry are recurring themes. Stewardship Foundation gave $200,000 to Fuller Theological Seminary for student scholarships for academic year 2025, and $125,000 to The Veritas Forum for equipping student leaders to engage universities with dialogue on big ideas through coaching and events. In immigrant support, it awarded $125,000 to World Relief for engaging the church in supporting the holistic well-being of immigrants in western Washington. The foundation also funds child welfare and family support, including $100,000 to Olive Crest for child welfare prevention and foster care services in Pierce County. Its international development grants include $200,000 to World Vision Inc for Sesame WASH UP! implementation and research in India, showing interest in both faith-based programming and technical service delivery.
