Living Stones Foundation Charitable Trust exists to serve Jesus Christ by providing financial and strategic resources to projects that lead to self-sustaining kingdom-building ministries, where support will leverage the success of the whole body of Christ.
A clear pattern in the recent record is repeated support for Waterstone (Christian Comm Foundation): $445,000 in 2023, $405,000 in 2024, and $360,000 in 2025, all marked general support. That sequence points to a funder that backs ministries over time rather than through isolated awards. The Living Stones Foundation Charitable Trust uses flexible funding to support projects it describes as leading to self-sustaining kingdom-building ministries, with an emphasis on leveraging the success of the whole body of Christ. Its giving includes church growth, faith and work integration, business as mission, family and pro-life programs, and community transformation. The grant list also shows large recurring support for Lance Wallnau Ministries Inc for Furnishing Families of TX, which received $240,000 in both 2024 and 2025, and multi-year support for New Generations at $150,000 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025. Other awards reach ministries, faith-and-work groups, and organizations connected to evangelism, veterans, youth, and women’s advocacy. The overall picture is a national funder with a consistent preference for general operating support and sustained relationships with recipients.
Faith and work is a visible theme in the grant list. The foundation gave $50,000 to Denver Institute for Faith & Work in 2024, $50,000 to At Work on Purpose in 2023, and $50,000 to Made to Flourish Inc in both 2023 and 2025. Business as mission appears in support for Sinapis Group Inc, which received $50,000 in 2025. Evangelism and church growth also show up through grants to Luis Palau Evangelistic Assoc, including $100,000 in both 2023 and 2024 and $75,000 in 2025, plus $150,000 annually to New Generations from 2023 through 2025. The foundation’s family and pro-life interest is reflected in support for Furnishing Families of TX through Lance Wallnau Ministries Inc. Community-oriented grants include Military Community Youth Ministries and National Center for Healthy Veterans.
Typical grant size sits at $25,000 at the 25th percentile, $50,000 at the median, and $71,250 at the 75th percentile, with several awards above that level to long-term partners. The record shows repeated grants to the same organizations across multiple years, including Waterstone, New Generations, Lance Wallnau Ministries Inc for Furnishing Families of TX, Made to Flourish Inc, and Luis Palau Evangelistic Assoc. The trust appears to favor general support and flexible funding, aligning with its stated philosophy of unrestricted, core, and operating support. It does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
