The Terry and Judy Thomas Foundation focuses its philanthropy on local, faith-based community support and faith-driven international relief. The vast majority of its funds go to the Carthage United Methodist Church for church activities and community programming, with a smaller allocation to a well-known Christian humanitarian organization for international relief efforts. Their giving reflects a religiously motivated local focus with occasional support for global Christian aid.
