NRJ Charitable Foundation makes a small number of sizable grants and appears to prioritize faith-based institutions and housing-related community support. Nearly all giving in this snapshot is concentrated in two recipients: a large grant to Gunnison Sanctuary Housing and repeat general support to Highland Park United Methodist Church. The foundation favors unrestricted/general operating support rather than narrowly restricted program funding.
Highly concentrated giving: few, large grants with at least one repeat grantee; emphasis on general operating support rather than many small awards.
A $400,000 general grant to Gunnison Sancuarty Housing is the clearest signal in Nrj Charitable Foundation’s recent giving. That award accounts for most of the foundation’s annual grantmaking in this snapshot and points to a strong interest in supportive or sanctuary housing. The foundation’s other recent gifts show a narrower pattern: repeated general support for Highland Park United Methodist Church in Dallas, plus a smaller general grant to Childrens Medical Foundation. Across the recent record, the funder gives a small number of sizable grants rather than many smaller awards, and the recurring use of general support suggests flexibility in how recipients use the money. The mix of housing-related and faith-based recipients also fits the foundation’s stated focus areas, which include supportive and transitional housing, local Methodist or mainline Protestant congregations, and faith-based community services in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. In this snapshot, the grant list is concentrated in Texas, with all listed recipients located in the state.
Supportive and transitional housing is the most visible cause area in the recent record. Nrj Charitable Foundation gave $400,000 in 2025 to Gunnison Sancuarty Housing for general support, making housing-related community support the largest single line in the file. Faith-based support is the other consistent thread. The foundation gave $60,000 in 2025 to Highland Park United Methodist Church for general support, following similar general-support grants of $60,000 in both 2024 and 2023. That pattern aligns with its focus on local Methodist and mainline Protestant congregations. A smaller 2025 grant of $20,000 to Childrens Medical Foundation adds a broader community-service dimension, while still remaining within the Texas-only giving pattern seen in the data.
Nrj Charitable Foundation’s typical grant size is $60,000, with p25, median, and p75 all at that level, even though one 2025 award was much larger. The foundation appears to make a small number of grants each year and relies heavily on general support rather than project-specific funding. The recent record also shows a repeat recipient: Highland Park United Methodist Church received general-support grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That repetition suggests an ongoing relationship rather than one-off giving. The foundation is not reported to fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
