USATransform’s giving is tightly focused on conservative, faith-driven civic and social causes: large grants support legal defense of religious liberty, evangelical ministries/churches, conservative policy and political engagement organizations, and anti-trafficking/anti-exploitation groups. The foundation favors mission-focused, often repeated operational support to organizations that blend evangelical Christianity with public policy, legal advocacy, voter engagement, and social-service outreach.
USATransform’s largest recent grant went to Turning Point USA, with $2,059,681 in 2025 to support and encourage the mission. That single award sits within a broader pattern of large, mission-aligned grants to conservative civic organizations, evangelical ministries, legal advocacy groups, and anti-exploitation nonprofits. The foundation has also directed seven-figure support to Cityserve International and Alliance Defending Freedom, alongside repeated funding for First Liberty Institute, Turning Point Action, and other organizations that combine faith, public policy, and cultural engagement. Across the recent grant list, the same themes recur: religious-liberty litigation, evangelical ministry expansion, election and voter engagement, and faith-based social services. Several grantees appear more than once across multiple years, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. Its grants also reach a mix of national advocacy groups and locally rooted ministries, with some recipients appearing in Texas and others in Arizona, Florida, Missouri, and beyond. The stated purpose attached to each grant is typically broad—“to support and encourage the mission”—which points to flexible operating support tied to the funder’s priorities rather than tightly siloed project funding.
Religious-liberty litigation is a major thread in USATransform’s giving. The foundation awarded $1,200,000 in 2025 to Alliance Defending Freedom and $650,000 in 2025 to First Liberty Institute, both for mission support, while a separate 2024 grant of $473,056 also went to Alliance Defending Freedom. It also backs conservative civic engagement and election-related work. In 2025, it gave $680,000 to Valid Vote Inc and $625,000 to Turning Point Action, following a 2024 grant of $575,000 to the same organization. Faith-based social service and anti-trafficking efforts appear as well. Cityserve International received $1,575,054 in 2023 and $747,100 in 2025, and The A21 Campaign Inc received $680,000 in 2024. Evangelical ministry and church-network work is another visible lane, including $570,000 in 2025 to Lance Wallnau Ministries Total and $485,000 in 2023 to TheSend.
USATransform’s recent grants cluster around a median of $119,750, with the middle half of awards spanning from $49,875 at the 25th percentile to $300,000 at the 75th percentile. That distribution sits alongside a handful of very large gifts in the hundreds of thousands and above. The foundation’s filing profile shows annual grants of $23,682,381, with total assets of $3,571,443. The recent grant list also shows repeat awards to the same recipients across multiple years, including several organizations funded in 2023, 2024, and 2025, which points to sustained relationships rather than isolated gifts. The foundation is led by Andrew Hiss. Its grant purposes are consistently phrased as support for the mission, indicating flexible support rather than narrowly specified project funding.

Concentrated, large-dollar giving skewed to a relatively small set of repeat grantees; mix of multi-grant relationships and single large grants. Grants prioritize operational/program support for organizations at the intersection of evangelical Christianity and conservative policy/advocacy rather than broadly distributed small gifts.
Notable grantees: Alliance Defending Freedom, Turning Point USA / Turning Point Action, Cityserve International, First Liberty Institute, The A21 Campaign
USATransform gives nationally, with all recent grants going to US recipients. By recipient count, Oregon is the top state, even though the foundation is headquartered in Southlake, Texas. Recent awards land in a range of cities, including Phoenix, Springfield, Scottsdale, Washington, DC, Plano, and Alexandria. Texas accounts for 17% of grants to recipients in the HQ state, so a meaningful share stays close to home while the broader pattern extends well beyond Texas.
The recent grants show support for conservative civic organizations, legal-defense and religious-liberty groups, evangelical ministries, faith-based social-service providers, and anti-trafficking or anti-exploitation nonprofits. Recipients include organizations working in public-interest litigation, voter engagement, church and ministry expansion, and family-policy advocacy.
The grant-size distribution centers on a median award of $119,750. The middle half of grants runs from $49,875 at the 25th percentile to $300,000 at the 75th percentile, with several larger awards well above that range.
