Mission Grant
¿Quién puede postularse? Mission organizations with gospel-centered work may apply by submitting basic information.
The Matthew 6 Foundation concentrates its giving on a small set of repeat recipients, with a clear tilt toward faith-aligned organizations (church-related schooling and gospel ministry) and a willingness to make sizeable, unrestricted awards. It also provides direct hardship support to individuals, suggesting a mix of institutional philanthropy and charity to persons in need. Grants are large and targeted rather than broadly distributed across many causes.
Concentrated, high-dollar grants to a few repeat grantees and occasional one-off hardship payments to individuals; majority of funding is unrestricted general support.
Matthew 6 Foundation’s recent giving shows a strong pattern of repeat support for faith-based education and ministry, alongside direct hardship aid to individuals. In 2025, the foundation gave $250,000 to First Baptist Academy in Naples for unrestricted general charitable purposes, one of several sizable awards tied to Christian schooling. Another recurring recipient, Life Song (Where Needed Most) in North Port, received a $260,000 general-purpose grant in 2023 and an $80,000 unrestricted award in 2025, showing that the foundation sustains some grantees over multiple years. The foundation also funds gospel-centered organizations and community-serving nonprofits with flexible support. Gospel Patrons Co Crm in Corona, California received $60,000 in 2025 after a $25,000 award in 2024, while Global Leadership International in Rock Hill, South Carolina was supported in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Alongside organizational grants, Matthew 6 Foundation makes hardship grants to individuals, including awards to Matthew Oshel, Scott Hamilton, and others. The overall picture is of a funder using unrestricted or general-purpose grants to support a compact set of faith-aligned organizations and people facing financial strain.
Faith-based education is a clear priority. Matthew 6 Foundation awarded $250,000 to First Baptist Academy in Naples in 2025 for unrestricted general charitable purposes, and also supported Able Academy in Naples with $45,000 in 2024 and $30,000 in 2025. The scholarship program is aimed at students attending Bible-believing private Christian K-12 schools. Mission and gospel work is another throughline. Gospel Patrons Co Crm in Corona received $60,000 in 2025 and $25,000 in 2024, both unrestricted general charitable purpose grants. Global Leadership International in Rock Hill was funded in 2023, 2024, and 2025, including a $40,000 general-purpose grant in 2023. The foundation also backs direct human services. It made hardship grants to individuals such as Jamin Stinziano in Fort Myers, Monica Romberg in Lehigh Acres, and Eric Pickle in Austin, indicating that personal financial relief is part of its grantmaking mix.
Matthew 6 Foundation’s typical grant size sits at $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $29,100 at the median, and $50,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent record includes several much larger awards, but the center of gravity is still in the mid-five-figure range. Recipients appear across multiple years: Life Song (Where Needed Most), Global Leadership International, Matthew Oshel, Scott Hamilton, and First Baptist Academy each received repeat support. The foundation appears to blend institutional grants with direct assistance to individuals, and its active programs accept unsolicited applications through a public portal or partner-managed process, depending on program.
