The Terry and David Scott Family Foundation concentrates its giving on Christian faith‑based education and social ministries, supporting both local San Antonio institutions and an international ministry in Africa. They favor schools and congregationally affiliated service organizations, plus youth/civic engagement programming, often making repeat grants to a small set of grantees.
A $25,000 grant to Africa New Life Ministries is the largest recent award on file for The Terry and David Scott Family Foundation, and it points to a portfolio that combines local San Antonio support with Christian ministry work beyond the United States. The foundation’s giving shows a clear preference for faith-based organizations, especially Christian schools, church-affiliated service providers, and ministries tied to youth formation or social outreach. In the recent grants list, Wayside Chapel received multiple awards across 2023 and 2024, while Nexttalk and Bracken Christian School each appear as named recipients. That pattern suggests a funder that often returns to organizations it knows rather than spreading grants widely across many one-time recipients. The foundation also supports community-facing programs outside the classroom, including faith-based social services and civic engagement activities. The overall portfolio is modest in size but focused. Grants are typically directed to established organizations rather than individuals, and the recipient set is concentrated enough to show recurring relationships with a small number of grantees. The result is a giving profile centered on Christian institutions, local service work, and ministry partnerships, with Texas recipients making up most of the recorded activity.
Christian education is one of the clearest threads in the foundation’s recent giving. Bracken Christian School received $20,000 in 2023, showing support for a local Christian day-school setting. The same pattern extends into youth and civic formation: Nexttalk received $20,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2024 for charitable purposes, placing youth-oriented programming among the foundation’s recurring interests. Faith-based service work is another major area. Wayside Chapel received $20,000 in 2024 after a $10,000 grant in 2023, indicating repeat support for a San Antonio organization. The foundation also backed The Center in Wichita Falls with $2,500 in 2024 and $1,000 in 2023, and it supported San Antonio Livestock Exposition Inc with grants of $5,300 in 2024 and $2,000 in 2023. International ministry also appears in the record through Africa New Life Ministries, which received $25,000 in 2024 and $10,000 in 2023.
