About Fellowship of Christian Athletes
A $500,000 grant to YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly for rebuilding camp facilities after flood damage is the clearest recent signal of Fellowship of Christian Athletes’ funding priorities. The foundation pairs that kind of infrastructure recovery with repeated support for youth-serving organizations that share its Christian sports-ministry orientation. In 2025, it also gave $100,000 each to Youth Commission International Inc, My Farm Camps Expeerience Inc, and Calvary Christian Academy for like-minded youth organizations. Those awards point to a grantmaker that backs camp communities, youth development, and Christian leadership settings rather than individual athletes or one-off scholarships. The foundation’s own summary centers on leading every coach and athlete into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church, and the recent grants reflect that mission in institutional form. Schools appear throughout the list, alongside camp and ministry partners, suggesting a network-based approach to building faith-based youth development. Grant sizes range from large recovery support to smaller operating or program awards, with the largest recent check reserved for flood recovery and a broad set of mid-sized awards directed to organizations working in aligned youth and ministry spaces.
What Fellowship of Christian Athletes Funds
Camp facility recovery is a visible part of the foundation’s giving. In 2025, it awarded $500,000 to YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly in Black Mountain, North Carolina, to support rebuilding camp facilities after flood damage. That award shows a willingness to fund capital repair when youth-serving sites are disrupted. The foundation also funds coalition-style youth work. It gave $100,000 to Youth Commission International Inc in Charlotte, North Carolina, and another $100,000 to My Farm Camps Expeerience Inc in Charlotte, North Carolina, both to support like-minded youth organizations. A third $100,000 award went to Calvary Christian Academy in Charlotte for the same purpose. School-based ministry appears in the California awards, where Templeton High School received $28,891 and St Joseph High School received $23,440, each for like-minded youth organizations. These grants suggest an emphasis on Christian youth development across camps, schools, and affiliated nonprofits.
How Fellowship of Christian Athletes Gives
Typical grants cluster in the mid-five-figure range, with a p25 of $10,846, a median of $15,133, and a p75 of $46,668. The distribution includes a very large outlier at $500,000, but most awards sit closer to the median. All listed grants are from 2025, so the recent sample does not show a multi-year recipient pattern. The foundation funds organizations, not individuals, and makes no program-related investments. Its structure looks like a grantmaking charity with institutional awards rather than an individual-aid fund. The listed grants also indicate a mix of one-off awards and repeated support for aligned organizations, especially those tied to youth ministry and camps.
