The Ray and Karyn Hendrickson Foundation concentrates its giving on evangelical Christian causes, making large, targeted grants to churches, Christian ministries, and faith-based education projects. Grants skew toward institutional strengthening and capital or program support for congregations and Christian organizations, with multiple multi-million dollar gifts to a small set of repeat grantees. The foundation appears willing to fund both local churches and national evangelical ministries/theological projects.
The Ray and Karyn Hendrickson Foundation c/o PKF JND PC gives some of its largest recent support to Christianbook International Outreach and Lynnfield Calvary Christian Church, a pattern that points to sustained backing for evangelical congregations and faith-based outreach. Across the recent grants listed, the foundation also appears in multi-year support for Calvary Christian Church and for Elevate New England, alongside gifts to churches, discipleship ministries, and Christian institutions. The foundation’s grants range from small gifts of $500 and $870 to seven-figure awards above $1 million, with several large general-support grants and a capital project grant for a building associated with Cornerstone University. Recent recipients include First Congregational Church of Hamilton, New Europe Vision, and Assemblies of God World Missions, showing that the portfolio reaches both local Massachusetts churches and broader evangelical ministries. The pattern suggests a donor that favors institutional support, religious programming, and physical or organizational capacity rather than individual aid or program-related investments. Repeated funding to a small set of organizations stands out. Lynnfield Calvary Christian Church appears with multiple awards across different years, Christianbook International Outreach receives repeated support, and Elevate New England appears more than once as well. That concentration, paired with large grant sizes, suggests a relationship-driven grantmaking style centered on ongoing support for faith-based organizations.
One clear theme is support for evangelical congregations and church operations. The foundation gave $1,092,350 to Lynnfield Calvary Christian Church for general support in 2025, after a $940,800 grant in 2023 for the church’s religious, educational, charitable activity. It also awarded $870,400 to Calvary Christian Church in 2024 for general support. Another area is faith-based outreach and distribution. Christianbook International Outreach received $1,375,000 in 2025 and $850,000 in 2024, both for general support, plus an additional $100,100 in 2023. The foundation also supports discipleship and theological training. Pastors Discipleship Network received $500,000 in 2024 for a capital project tied to the Cornerstone University building, and $115,000 in 2023 for general support. Smaller grants extend to local Christian organizations such as Elevate New England and New Europe Vision, showing that the foundation funds both major institutions and smaller ministry groups.

Typical grant sizes are spread widely: the 25th percentile is $2,000, the median is $100,000, and the 75th percentile is $211,250. The recent record includes both very large awards and small grants under $10,000, which suggests a mix of major institutional support and modest general-support gifts. The pattern is also recurring rather than one-off.

The foundation does not make grants to individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its structure in the data is that of a foundation using grantmaking, with general support as a common purpose and some capital support mixed in.
