About Lennox Foundation
The Lennox Foundation’s largest recent grant went to Light Church in Encinitas, California: $127,500 in 2024, followed by another $32,500 in 2025. That pattern points to a funder that makes concentrated, relationship-based gifts rather than one-off awards. Across the recent grants list, the foundation repeatedly supports Christian ministry, church development, Christian education, and mission-oriented outreach through unrestricted grants.
Several recipients appear more than once across multiple years, including Restored Church Uptown, Resourcing Christian Education International, Campus Crusade for Christ International, Pioneers USA, and 2414 World. Those recurring awards suggest long-term support for a small set of faith-based organizations. The foundation also backs local church work in Southern California and smaller Christian resourcing groups, with grant sizes ranging from modest awards to six-figure support.
Beyond churches and ministry organizations, the recent list includes a small number of grants to faith-adjacent or civic organizations, but the dominant pattern remains clear: The Lennox Foundation gives flexible support to evangelical and Christian groups, often over multiple years, and often to the same organizations.
What Lennox Foundation Funds
Christian education is a recurring theme in the foundation’s recent giving. In 2023, The Lennox Foundation gave $16,000 to Resourcing Christian Education International in Wheaton, Illinois, and followed with $9,000 in 2024 and $11,884 in 2025.
Church support is another major thread. The foundation awarded $46,500 to Restored Church Uptown in San Diego in 2023, and later gave $127,500 in 2024 and $32,500 in 2025 to Light Church in Encinitas.
Mission outreach also appears in the grant list. The foundation gave $18,000 in 2025 to 2414 World in Charlottesville, Virginia, after a $5,000 grant in 2023 to 2414 World Among All Nations.
International and campus ministry organizations also receive support, including Campus Crusade for Christ International and Pioneers USA, both of which appear repeatedly in the recent grants data.
How Lennox Foundation Gives
Typical awards are in the low thousands: p25 is $1,500, median is $5,500, and p75 is $7,725. Recent gifts show both smaller grants and occasional much larger unrestricted awards. The pattern is recurring rather than one-off: several recipients appear across 2023, 2024, and 2025, including Light Church, Resourcing Christian Education International, Campus Crusade for Christ International, Pioneers USA, and Dartmouth College. The foundation uses flexible funding, with many grants marked unrestricted. It also operates some separate scholarship programs, but the recent grant list itself is dominated by discretionary grants to organizations rather than individuals.
