About Interfaith America
Interfaith America’s recent grantmaking is built around a recurring pattern: multi-year support for campus-based bridgebuilding, interfaith leadership, and civic participation. The foundation’s largest recent awards include $325,000 to PRRI for a national survey administration and research data collaboration grant, and $227,500 to YMCA of the USA, Habitat for Humanity International Inc, and Catholic Charities USA through Team Up/NOB partner grants. Those grants point to a funder that works through partnerships rather than isolated one-off awards, with recipients ranging from national research and civic organizations to higher-education institutions and community networks. Its portfolio also shows a strong emphasis on religious pluralism as a practical public asset. Grants have supported curriculum institutes, campus implementation work, bridgebuilding partnerships, and public narrative projects tied to religion, faith, and civic life. Several awards connect interfaith work with public education, including journalism and documentary production, suggesting that the foundation funds both program delivery and the communications infrastructure that shapes public understanding. The overall picture is of a foundation using targeted grants to activate leaders and institutions across campuses, workplaces, civic settings, and health-related initiatives.
What Interfaith America Funds
In higher education, Interfaith America supports curriculum and campus implementation work through named grants such as $220,000 to the Assc of American Colleges & Universities for a SP and Curriculum Institute Grant and $80,000 to the Assoc of Catholic Colleges & Universities for CDO Campus Implementation Grants. Campus bridgebuilding appears again in awards like $56,100 to Belmont University for the Bridging the Gap Partnership and $20,600 to Bentley University for a Building Interfaith America Curricular Grant plus BTG Campus Grant. The foundation also funds faith-and-health work. A $60,000 grant to the University of Illinois Foundation supported a Religion and Health Sciences Symposium Grant, while its Faith & Health Pipeline Grants are designed for curricular development, research, public narrative, and community-based initiatives. On civic life, Interfaith America backs nonpartisan democracy support, including a $147,400 partnership with The Advertising Council Inc for Team Up public service advertising and grants tied to election participation and bridgebuilding.
