We collaborate with individuals and churches to reach the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ and to minister to those in need.
Ministry Outreach Foundation’s largest recent grant was $9,806,500 in 2024 to Mof - Preservation of Affordability Corp in Cordova, Tennessee, a distribution that stands far above its other recent awards. That single grant sits alongside a pattern of ministry support to churches, media ministries, and evangelism partners, with recurring backing for organizations such as Bott Radio Network, The Pillar Network, and Light Ministries Inc. The foundation describes its work as collaboration with individuals and churches to reach the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ and to minister to those in need, and its active programs include partner ministry sponsorship and church planting support. Recent grants also show support for Christian media and broadcasting, discipleship, and church revitalization, indicating a mix of direct ministry funding and support for organizations that train, mobilize, and communicate. The foundation’s giving is regional in scope, but its ministry relationships extend beyond one local area, with grants to recipients in several U.S. states and a broad set of faith-based organizations.
Christian media and broadcasting is one visible thread in the foundation’s grant list. In 2023, it gave $109,650 to Bott Radio Network in Overland Park, Kansas, and followed with another $10,750 in 2024. It also supported Salem Media Group in Irving, Texas with $21,015 in 2023. Church planting and revitalization appear through support for The Pillar Network in Wake Forest, North Carolina, which received $80,000 in 2023. Discipleship and ministry formation show up in grants to Faith & Learning International in Wheaton, Illinois for $27,126 in 2024, and to Christ Above All Inc in Madison, Wisconsin for $20,000 in both 2023 and 2024. The grant list also includes direct support for local service ministries such as Memphis Union Mission in Memphis, Tennessee.
Typical grants cluster in a modest range: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $20,000, and the 75th percentile is $27,126. The distribution is highly skewed by one very large 2024 award, while most other grants fall around the median or below. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Bott Radio Network, Christ Above All Inc, Light Ministries Inc, Mid-south Baptist Association, and International Mission Board, which points to continuing relationships rather than one-time awards. The foundation is an operating grantmaker that does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its stated active programs focus on partner ministry sponsorship and church planting support, and unsolicited applications are not indicated in the church planting program.

All recent grants in the dataset went to U.S. recipients. Florida is the top state by grant count, and Tennessee recipients account for 33% of grants, even though the headquarters are in Cordova, Tennessee. Named recipient cities show a spread across the South and beyond: Orlando, Florida; Memphis and Collierville, Tennessee; Overland Park, Kansas; and Wake Forest, North Carolina. The pattern suggests regional giving with repeated support in Tennessee and Florida, plus select awards to organizations in other states.
The foundation supports faith-based organizations, congregations and churches, and clergy and ministry staff. Its stated focus areas include evangelism, church planting, discipleship, Christian media and broadcasting, social services, affordable housing and community development, education and training, marketplace ministry, and Spanish-language outreach.
Recent grants center on a median of $20,000, with a 25th percentile of $10,000 and a 75th percentile of $27,126. The presence of one much larger award makes the distribution uneven, but most grants cluster around the $10,000 to $27,126 range.
The church planting support program is listed with unsolicited applications marked false. The foundation’s active programs emphasize partner ministry sponsorship and church planting support rather than an open application process.
No. Tennessee recipients account for 33% of grants, but the recent grant list also includes organizations in Florida, Kansas, North Carolina, Texas, Alabama, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Virginia. The grant distribution is regional, not confined to the headquarters state.
