Lifestream Foundation directs nearly all of its giving to support individual-led overseas Christian mission work, primarily funding travel, lodging, visas and related expenses for mission trips to Africa. Grants are small in number but large in dollar concentration to specific individuals undertaking overseas missions rather than to institutions. The foundation appears to prioritize direct operational support for missionaries’ travel logistics and reimbursements.
