The foundation is almost exclusively funding Christian faith-based ministries, with a strong emphasis on supporting a specific charismatic/’grace’-oriented network of ministries and leaders. The grants primarily underwrite program operations and missionary/outreach activities, including ministry training and support for individual ministers. Giving is highly concentrated to a single dominant beneficiary while a few much smaller awards support aligned ministries and training organizations.
Highly concentrated giving: one very large operational grant (~99% of total) to a single core ministry, supplemented by a handful of much smaller awards to allied ministries and a training institute; grants appear targeted to organizations within the same theological network rather than broadly distributed.
Charis Bible College Inc’s recent giving is dominated by a single large operating grant: $10,124,567 to Andrew Wommack Ministries in 2023 for program operations. That award sits alongside a smaller set of grants that all point toward the same ministry network and message, including support for missionary work, Gospel outreach, and people carrying the Grace message. The pattern is tightly focused rather than broad, with most recipients tied to Christian faith-based ministries, evangelical work, and ministry training. The foundation’s 2023 grants also show support for aligned ministries in different states, such as Dawn of Hope Ministries and Gary and Drenda Keesee Ministries, plus a ministry-management and leadership training organization. Across these awards, the funding is directed to operating costs, missionary deployment, and faith formation activities rather than individuals outside ministry roles. With annual grants of $10,159,417 and total assets of $2,310,840, Charis Bible College Inc functions as a public charity with a very concentrated grantmaking pattern centered on ministry support.
A central theme is support for Christian missionary and outreach work. In 2023, Charis Bible College Inc gave $12,000 to Dawn of Hope Ministries in Florissant, Colorado, to support missionary work, carry the Gospel, and support individuals who carry the Grace message. The same purpose language appears in its grant to Creflo Dollar Enterprises Inc in College Park, Georgia, at $9,566. The foundation also backs ministry training and leadership development. It gave $8,250 to The Institute of Ministry Management and Leadership in Scottsdale, Arizona, for the same missionary and Grace-message support purpose. Another grant went to Gary and Drenda Keesee Ministries in Mount Vernon, Ohio, for $5,034. Taken together, the grants point to a mix of outreach, discipleship, and training within a shared theological network.
Charis Bible College Inc’s typical grant size is modest relative to its largest award: the 25th percentile is $8,250, the median is $9,566, and the 75th percentile is $12,000. That spread shows a narrow band of smaller grants around one very large operating grant. The recent record is concentrated in 2023, and the same ministry network appears as the dominant recipient pattern. The foundation is a public charity and does not fund individuals directly, though its grant purposes reference support for individuals who carry the Grace message in a ministry context. No application process is shown in the data.
