Support National Church Residences' mission to provide compassionate, faith-rooted senior housing, healthcare, and services by building resources that sustain programs, enhance services, and foster innovation for older adults.
The largest recent grants all point to the same pattern: National Church Residences Foundation directs most of its giving back into National Church Residences itself, including $15,642,082 in 2025 and $13,817,240 in 2024 for general support and chaplaincy program funding. That emphasis shows a funder built to sustain a senior-services network rather than a broad external grantmaker. The foundation also supports specific sites within that network, such as Bristol Village Homes in Columbus for resident assistance and benevolent care, and Water's Edge at Bradenton for chaplaincy program funding. Across the recent list, the grants tie closely to older-adult housing and care settings, with purposes that include general support, chaplaincy, resident assistance, and benevolent care. The pattern suggests a foundation focused on maintaining day-to-day services, spiritual care, and emergency help for residents in congregate senior living environments. Its recent awards also show support for related care-coordination and permanent-supportive-housing operations inside the same organizational system.
Chaplaincy is one of the clearest program areas in the recent grants. In 2025, National Church Residences Foundation gave $15,642,082 to National Church Residences for general support and fund chaplaincy program, and it also awarded $37,129 to Water's Edge at Bradenton and $20,204 to Water's Edge at Lake Wales for the same chaplaincy purpose. Resident support is another recurring use of funds: Bristol Village Homes received $383,293 in 2023 for resident assistance and $38,628 in 2024 for resident assistance. The foundation also backs benevolent and emergency-style help, including $7,111 to Bristol Village Homes in 2025 for benevolent care. Beyond direct resident support, it funds service infrastructure such as National Church Residences Care Coordination, which received $70,000 in 2024 and $60,000 in 2023 for general support.
Typical awards fall in a middle range, with a p25 of $44,314, a median of $60,000, and a p75 of $256,646. The grant list shows both very large operating-style awards and smaller site-level grants, which suggests a layered approach: major support for the parent organization alongside targeted funding for specific programs and communities. Recipients recur across multiple years, including National Church Residences, Bristol Village Homes, Bristol Village Healthcare, National Church Residences Care Coordination, and National Church Residences Perm. The foundation is not described as making program-related investments or supporting individuals. The available data also points to ongoing, internal-network funding rather than a one-time grant model.
