The Kenneth and Alice Martin Family Foundation concentrates its philanthropy on evangelical Christian ministry and faith-based relief, funding national and international evangelical organizations that focus on religious education, evangelism, and humanitarian response. Grants are directed to well-known evangelical service and outreach groups, indicating a clear commitment to supporting Christian messaging and faith-based relief work rather than a broad charitable portfolio.
Highly concentrated and focused: a small number of relatively large grants routed to a handful of repeat grantees. Funding is exclusively faith-based (NTEE X) and directed toward established evangelical organizations rather than many small or geographically dispersed projects.
Kenneth and Alice Martin Family Foundation Inc repeatedly backs evangelical ministry networks and faith-based relief, with $60,000 grants appearing across multiple years to Ron Hutchcraft Ministries Inc and Samaritan's Purse. That pattern shows a foundation that gives at a fairly consistent mid-range level while supporting organizations tied to religious education, evangelism, humanitarian response, and religious freedom advocacy. The foundation's recent grants show a clear preference for established groups rather than one-off local awards. Billy Graham Evangelistic Association received $50,000 in both 2024 and 2025, while Alliance Defending Freedom received $25,000 in 2023 and $20,000 in both 2024 and 2025. Those repeated awards point to ongoing support for organizations with durable national reach. Alongside those larger gifts, the foundation also funds smaller religious and service-oriented grants. Examples include Turning Point for God, In Touch Ministries, Prison Fellowship, World Gospel Mission, and Salvation Army. The mix suggests a portfolio built around evangelical teaching, ministry broadcasting, and selected service delivery through faith-based providers, with New Jersey recipients appearing among the named grantees as well.
In religious education, Kenneth and Alice Martin Family Foundation Inc supported several broadcast and teaching ministries. Turning Point for God received $20,000 in 2023 and 2024, and $15,000 in 2025, while In Touch Ministries received $15,000 in 2025 and $10,000 in 2023. For faith-based relief and humanitarian response, the foundation gave Samaritan's Purse $60,000 in 2025, after $50,000 in 2024 and $40,000 in 2023. That same program area also appears in support for Salvation Army, which received $10,000 in 2024 and 2025. The foundation also funds religious freedom advocacy. Alliance Defending Freedom received $25,000 in 2023 and $20,000 in both 2024 and 2025. In religious teaching and outreach, World Gospel Mission received $10,000 in 2024, and Hagee Ministries received $10,000 in 2023.
Typical grant size is clustered at $10,000 to $10,000 on the upper quartile, with a median of $10,000 and a first quartile of $5,000. The recent grant list shows repeated awards to the same organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which indicates ongoing relationships rather than isolated gifts. The foundation is a family foundation, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. Its recent grantmaking is entirely through grants rather than other vehicle types.
