About Fuller Foundation
The Fuller Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by repeated multimillion-dollar support for Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena: $2,916,124 in 2025, $2,731,114 in 2024, and $2,798,440 in 2023, all listed as general support. That pattern points to a funder built around long-term support for a core institution rather than one-off project funding. The foundation also extends general support to a broader set of faith-oriented organizations, including 1000 Lighthouses in Colorado Springs, The Voice of the Martyrs in Bartlesville, and Scholarleaders International in Deerfield. Its public profile aligns with charitable giving, investment advisory services, advancement, alumni relations, and faith-based philanthropy, with unrestricted and core operating support appearing repeatedly in recent grants. The grant list suggests a mix of seminary, church, and ministry-related recipients, alongside education- and outreach-oriented organizations. Across the recent record, the Fuller Foundation appears to prioritize steady institutional backing, values-aligned giving, and support that helps recipient organizations maintain ongoing operations.
What Fuller Foundation Funds
A major thread in the Fuller Foundation’s giving is theological education. In 2024, it awarded $40,000 to Logos Evangelical Seminary in El Monte for general support, and in 2023 it gave $47,750 to Scholarleaders International in Deerfield, also for general support. Church-centered support is another visible area: The First Presbyterian Church Monrovia received $103,000 in 2023 and $40,000 in 2024, both for general support, while Church of the Servant in Grand Rapids received $35,000 in 2023. The foundation also backs outreach and mission-oriented work. Come and See Africa in Vancouver, Washington received $48,000 in 2023, $40,000 in 2024, and $40,000 in 2025, all listed as general support. Similar support appears in grants to The Outreach Foundation in Franklin, Tennessee, including $52,511 in 2024 and $48,050 in 2025.
How Fuller Foundation Gives
Typical grants cluster in the mid-five-figure range, with a p25 of $10,000, a median of $15,000, and a p75 of $30,000. The recent record also includes very large, recurring institutional grants, especially to Fuller Theological Seminary. Many recipients appear in multiple years, such as Come and See Africa, Windrider Institute, The Outreach Foundation, Intervarsity Christian Fellowshipusa, and Reach Beyond, which suggests continued relationships rather than isolated awards. The foundation is a public charity and also makes program-related investments. Recent grants are overwhelmingly listed as general support, indicating a preference for flexible funding rather than tightly restricted project awards.
