The Von Tobel Foundation concentrates its philanthropic dollars into a very small number of recipients, primarily supporting international faith-based mission and relief work. Its funding is dominated by multi-grant, large awards to PAZ International and a significant grant to Bible Mission Global, indicating a preference for evangelical Christian organizations engaged in public support activities abroad. The foundation appears to favor substantial, targeted investments rather than broad, diversified giving.
Highly concentrated: very few grants overall, large dollar amounts, repeat multi-year or multi-grant support to the same core grantees rather than many small or one-off awards.
Notable grantees: PAZ International, Bible Mission Global, Other unspecified/smaller recipients (minimal)
Von Tobel Foundation Inc has a clear pattern of concentrating large awards into a small circle of evangelical mission and relief organizations, with Paz International taking the biggest share across multiple years. That recurring support is paired with substantial grants to Bible Mission Global, Audio Scripture Ministires, and World Harvest Outreach Mission Inc, showing a consistent emphasis on public support for faith-based work rather than a broad spread of small awards. The grants are sizable enough to stand out: the foundation’s recent top awards range from the high hundreds of thousands to more than $2 million, and the same organizations appear repeatedly in successive years. Its portfolio also includes support for churches, Christian higher education, and ministries connected to international outreach. This mix suggests a funder that favors targeted, durable relationships with organizations already active in Bible-focused, evangelical, or relief-oriented service. Although the foundation gives nationally, its recipient list is heavily anchored in a limited set of recurring grantees, with several awards flowing to organizations in Indiana and to ministries operating from Florida, New Mexico, Michigan, Kentucky, and Illinois.
In international faith-based mission work, the foundation gave $2,483,600 to Paz International for public support in 2025, after prior awards of $2,258,259 in 2024 and $827,880 in 2023. It also backed Bible Mission Global with $300,000 in 2024 and $185,000 in 2025 for public support, reinforcing a Bible-centered ministry focus. Audio Scripture Ministires received $261,000 in 2025 and $250,000 in 2024, pointing to repeated support for scripture distribution or audio-based ministry activity. The foundation also funded World Harvest Outreach Mission Inc with $182,100 in 2025, $116,420 in 2023, and $109,600 in 2024, alongside grants to Operation Mobilization and Samaritan's Purse. Its giving includes Christian education and community ministry as well, with awards to Valparaiso University, Willow Creek Community Church, and Intervarsity Christian Fellowship.
Typical awards cluster around a modest-to-midrange center, with p25 at $5,000, a median of $16,000, and p75 at $50,000. The recent grant list shows a strong recurring pattern rather than one-off giving: Paz International, Bible Mission Global, Audio Scripture Ministires, World Harvest Outreach Mission Inc, One Collective, Samaritan's Purse, Willow Creek Community Church, Shepherds College Foundation, and Operation Mobilization each appear in more than one year. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its recent grants are entirely to organizations, mostly as public support.
