The Troy Brewer Charitable Network is a faith-driven grantmaker that concentrates on evangelical Christian ministry, with a strong emphasis on anti‑human‑trafficking work and church planting/capital projects. It funds both local community services (food pantry, housing) in the Burleson/Dallas–Fort Worth area and international faith outreach, frequently supporting the same ministry partners across multiple grants. Grants range from large capital infusions for churches to program support for anti‑trafficking and evangelism initiatives, reflecting a mission-first, ministry-focused portfolio.
A defining feature of Troy Brewer Charitable Network is the repeated pairing of anti-trafficking grants with church-related capital funding. In recent years, the foundation has written some of its largest checks to Spark Worldwide for anti-trafficking work and to Open Door Church and Open Door Fellowship Ministries Inc for capital improvements, showing a portfolio centered on ministry infrastructure and direct social service. The same pattern appears in housing and outreach support: Dmitry Bodyu Ministries Internation received a large housing grant, while Answer International Foundation has been funded multiple times for anti-trafficking work. The foundation also supports evangelism and Christian education through grants to groups such as Uprising Church, New Living Israel, Holy Cross Christian Academy, and others. Across the recent grants list, the recurring theme is mission-oriented funding for evangelical ministry, faith-based community support, and trafficking-related intervention. The giving pattern suggests a network of local and mission-linked partners rather than a broad, general-purpose grantmaker.
Anti-trafficking is one of the clearest threads in the foundation’s recent grantmaking. Spark Worldwide received $559,811 in 2025 and $223,629 in 2024 for anti-trafficking, while Answer International Foundation was supported with $231,507 in 2023 and $140,700 in 2025 for the same purpose. The foundation also funded Reaching Children Through Love Inc with $50,400 in 2025 and Mexico Outreach with $26,000 in 2025 for anti-trafficking. Church infrastructure is another major theme. Open Door Church received $493,088 in 2023 for capital improvements, and Open Door Fellowship Ministries Inc received $436,158 in 2025 and $173,144 in 2024 for capital improvements. Faith-based education and ministry support appear as well: Holy Cross Christian Academy received $16,157 in 2025, $14,468 in 2024, and $9,063 in 2023 for spreading the gospel. The foundation also backed Uprising Church with $100,000 in 2025 for spreading gospel.
Typical grant size sits at $18,500 at the 25th percentile, $50,092 at the median, and $154,033 at the 75th percentile, which points to a mix of mid-sized awards and much larger project grants. The recent list also shows repeat funding to the same organizations over multiple years, including Spark Worldwide, Open Door Fellowship Ministries Inc, Answer International Foundation, and Holy Cross Christian Academy. That repetition suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off gifts. The foundation is a private charitable network led by Troy Brewer, and the available record shows no individual grants and no program-related investments.
