The Code Family Foundation directs all of its philanthropic support to faith-based giving through a national donor-advised vehicle. Its grants (three awards totaling $10.69M) are routed entirely to the National Christian Charitable Foundation, indicating the foundation primarily funds Christian religious causes indirectly rather than operating its own programs. This suggests the family prefers centralized, faith-aligned grantmaking handled by an intermediary with capacity to distribute to churches, ministries, or other Christian nonprofits.
Highly concentrated: all giving goes to a single intermediary grantee in multiple large gifts. Uses repeat, sizable grants to a national Christian charitable foundation rather than many small or direct grants.
The Code Family Foundation’s recent giving is dominated by large unrestricted support routed through the National Christian Charitable Foundation, with awards of $4,975,000 in 2024, $3,880,000 in 2025, and $1,835,000 in 2023. That pattern shows a faith-based grantmaking approach that relies on an intermediary rather than direct program delivery. Beyond those major grants, the foundation also makes smaller awards to churches, Christian ministries, and a few other nonprofits. The same grant list shows a mix of scale and purpose. The Progressive Manor House in Chicago received $125,000 in 2025, and Christian Life Ministries in Rapid City received $125,000 in 2025 after a $100,000 grant in 2024. Smaller grants include support for the University of Iowa Foundation in both 2023 and 2024, plus overseas health-related funding in Uganda. The foundation’s giving is regional in scope, but its recipient mix includes both U.S.-based religious organizations and a small international health component.
Faith-based giving is the clearest theme in The Code Family Foundation’s portfolio. Its largest grants all went to the National Christian Charitable Foundation for unrestricted support, and additional awards reached Christian Life Ministries in Rapid City and The Progressive Manor House in Chicago. A second thread appears in education and local institutional support. The University of Iowa Foundation received $6,000 in both 2023 and 2024, indicating repeat support across years. The foundation also made a small international health grant: Dr Lucy Ammamiyo in Nakasjja received $3,200 in 2024 to provide funding for a medical camp in Uganda. Another Ugandan recipient, Cure Children's Hospital of Uganda, received $2,630 in 2024. Together, those grants show some support for health access outside the United States alongside the foundation’s Christian philanthropy.
Typical grant size is relatively small at the lower end, with a p25 of $3,058 and a median of $6,000, but the upper quartile jumps to $533,750, reflecting a highly concentrated distribution. The recent record also shows repeated giving rather than a single one-off pattern: the National Christian Charitable Foundation received three large unrestricted awards across 2023, 2024, and 2025, and the University of Iowa Foundation received grants in both 2023 and 2024. The foundation makes program-related investments and funds individuals: False. The available grants are all listed as unrestricted except one medical-camp grant with a stated purpose.
