About World Outreachfund
World OutreachFund’s recent giving is marked by large grants for faith-based outreach, humanitarian relief, and practical care projects, including a $375,712 building grant to Heart for Africa and a $315,000 food-crisis grant to Coates Ministries. The foundation’s mission statement ties its work to spreading the gospel while also feeding the hungry, providing clean water, caring for the sick, and supporting widows, orphans, and people in prison. That combination shows up across the grant record: ministries, health-related work, food assistance, clean water projects, refugee relief, and prison ministry all appear in its active programs and recent awards. The funder also makes substantial operating and organizational-support grants, alongside project-specific awards for facilities, relief, and ministry growth. Recipients range from Georgia-based organizations to groups in Iowa, Texas, North Carolina, South Dakota, and Kentucky, with awards often landing at six figures. Gerald E Eickhoff is listed as leadership, and the foundation does not fund individuals. Its grantmaking pattern suggests an emphasis on established nonprofit partners rather than one-off personal assistance.
What World Outreachfund Funds
Faith-based outreach is a central lane for the foundation. It gave $150,000 to AsOne Ministries for a general grant and $110,000 to Salvation Army for a general grant, alongside support for evangelism, church planting, and prison ministry through its active programs. Humanitarian and medical work also appears repeatedly. World OutreachFund awarded $165,000 to Samaritan's Purse for a general grant and $100,000 to Water4 for the Iwuba Project in Uganda, reflecting its support for disaster response, medical missions, and clean water projects. Education and community development are also part of the portfolio: Asian Christian Academy received $250,000 for a general grant, and Lipscomb University received $106,000 for salary support tied to the Director of Peugeot Center. The foundation also backs refugee and family support through grants such as the award to Heart for Lebanon Foundation for Kurdish women’s Bible study and new families in southern Lebanon.
How World Outreachfund Gives
Typical awards sit in a broad mid-six-figure-to-five-figure range, with p25 at $15,000, median at $25,000, and p75 at $50,000. The recent record shows repeat support for several organizations across multiple years, including Heart for Africa, Coates Ministries, HOI Inc, Predisan, Asian Christian Academy, and Life in Abundance International. That pattern points to ongoing partnerships rather than isolated gifts. The foundation is structured as a nonprofit grantmaker rather than an individual donor, and it does not make program-related investments. Several awards are described as organizational support, general grants, salary support, or capital support, which suggests flexibility in how funds are used. Its active grant programs also state that unsolicited applications are not accepted for some lines of giving.
