About Baptist Home Foundation
The Baptist Home Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by a single large 2023 grant of $16,191,063 to The Baptist Home Inc. in Ironton, Missouri for financial support. That scale stands alongside a clear ministry identity: Baptist Homes & Healthcare Ministries describes its mission as serving the aging through education, advocacy, and care in a Christlike manner for the glory of God. The foundation’s funded work centers on elder care and the settings around it, including assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and spiritual care for seniors. Beyond the major support grant, its active programs show a practical mix of benevolence and workforce support. The John Burney Assistance Grant helps cover monthly care shortfalls for certain residents and supports pastors at the Shepherd’s Home location. The Heart & Hand Scholarship Fund is aimed at recruiting, training, and retaining nursing staff, including CNA training and continuing education for CNAs, LPNs, and RNs. Together, these programs indicate a funder focused on the daily costs, staffing needs, and faith-based care model of its own ministries.
What Baptist Home Foundation Funds
Elder care is the clearest theme in the foundation’s grantmaking. Through the John Burney Assistance Grant, it provides supplemental monthly assistance to help cover care shortfalls for certain residents and to support pastors living at the Shepherd’s Home location. Workforce development is another defined area. The Heart & Hand Scholarship Fund supports CNA training and further education, professional development, and specialty training for CNAs, LPNs, and RNs. The foundation also supports benevolence and resident assistance within assisted living settings. Its program structure points to a funder investing in the people who receive care and the staff who deliver it, rather than a broad external grantmaker. Spiritual care appears in the taxonomy as part of the ministry’s work with seniors, aligning with its faith-based identity and community partnerships.
How Baptist Home Foundation Gives
The available grant-size data show a single observed grant size: p25, median, and p75 are all $16,191,063. That reflects one large grant in the recent record rather than a spread of award sizes. The latest 990 year on file is 2023. This is a public charity with programmatic support tied to its own ministries, not a donor-advised fund or private family foundation. The recent record also suggests recurring internal program support rather than broad external grantmaking: the active programs are organized around resident assistance and nursing workforce development. Heart & Hand Scholarship Fund accepts unsolicited requests, while the John Burney Assistance Grant does not.
