Honoring God through the transformational power of giving. Serving Givers at the intersection of faith and finance. Building the Kingdom by transforming assets into living water.
Waterstone Support Foundation Inc. put most of its 2024 dollars into faith-linked intermediary organizations: $16,465,868 went to Christian Community Foundation in Colorado Springs, and $12,528,222 went to Up There Down Here in Rockwall, Texas. Those two grants alone show a pattern of large-scale support for organizations that channel resources through ministry and donor-services structures rather than isolated project gifts. The foundation also made another eight-figure general-support grant of $5,963,664 to Christian Community Foundaiton Inc in Colorado Springs, reinforcing that preference for institutional partners with ongoing operating needs. Beyond those headline awards, the funder’s recent giving reached churches, counseling and care ministries, benevolence-oriented recipients, and education scholarship support. The mix includes general support, ministry support, benevolent support, and scholarship funding, indicating a broad but still clearly faith-centered grantmaking profile. Several grants went to organizations serving people through church life, counseling, special-needs trust support, and Bible translation or missions work. The foundation’s latest filing also shows a national footprint rather than a single-locality strategy, with grants landing across multiple states.
Faith-based ministry support is central to Waterstone Support Foundation Inc.’s recent giving. It awarded $67,496 to Global Care and Response Inc in Austin for ministry support, $47,420 to Professional Christian Counseling Services in Austin for ministry support, and $23,500 to Men With a Purpose Inc in Colorado Springs for ministry support. General operating support is another consistent theme. The foundation gave $45,000 to House of Hope Orlando for general support, $25,000 to Citizens Defending Freedom USA Foundation in Mulberry for general support, and $10,000 to Salt Ventures Nfp in Carol Stream for general support. Its portfolio also includes direct benevolence and education scholarship support. Southwesterngreat American Inc in Nashville received $22,600 for benevolent support, while So They Can in Menlo Park received $10,000 for education scholarship support. Support for faith missions appears as well, including grants to Sim USA, Omf International, Wycliffe Bible Translators, Helping Hands Ministries Inc, and Seejesus.

Waterstone Support Foundation Inc. works at a relatively wide range of sizes, with a p25 of $10,000, a median grant of $35,000, and a p75 of $100,000. The distribution shows a few very large institutional awards and many mid-sized to smaller grants. The 2024 list is dominated by general support and ministry support, with additional benevolent and scholarship funding. Recipients in the current file appear only in 2024, so the pattern here is one-year grantmaking rather than a multi-year recipient trail. The foundation does not fund individuals directly and does not make program-related investments.
The foundation gives nationally, and all listed recent grants went to U.S. recipients. Colorado Springs appears frequently because several awards went there, but the largest state concentration by count is Virginia, while 21% of grants went to recipients in Colorado. Other recipient cities showing up in the recent list include Austin, Orlando, Nashville, Menlo Park, Charlotte, and Telford. The geographic pattern is broad, with grantees spread across the South, West, Midwest, and Northeast.
Recent grants show a strong focus on faith-based organizations and ministries, donor-services or intermediary structures, and general organizational support. The foundation also funded benevolence-oriented recipients and a scholarship grant, so its support is not limited to one program type.
The middle of the distribution is $35,000. The lower quartile is $10,000 and the upper quartile is $100,000, which shows that most grants are modest to mid-sized, with some much larger awards at the top end.
No. The latest grants are national in scope and all listed recipients are in the U.S. Recent grants reached multiple states, including Colorado, Texas, Virginia, Oklahoma, Florida, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Illinois, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.
The recent file shows general support, ministry support, benevolent support, and education scholarship support. That mix suggests the foundation is willing to fund operating needs, ministry activity, direct benevolence, and scholarship aid.
