The Nun Ide Foundation concentrates its giving locally in Lubbock, TX, with a clear emphasis on faith-based education and congregational support. The foundation makes sizable, mission-focused grants to religiously affiliated schools and churches, and also supports local higher-education institutions. Repeated, large gifts to a single Episcopal school suggest a preference for sustained backing of core local partners.
Concentrated, local giving with a few relatively large unrestricted mission-support grants; repeat large awards to a primary beneficiary alongside support for other local religious and educational institutions.
Nun Ide Foundation Inc. shows a strong pattern of repeat support for faith-based education and church operations, especially in Lubbock. The clearest example is All Saints Episcopal School, which received $60,000 in both 2023 and 2024 to further the organization’s mission. That recurring commitment places the school at the center of the foundation’s recent giving. The foundation also backs other religious and education institutions with mission-aligned grants, including Baylor University at $50,000 in 2024 and Lakeridge United Methodist Church at $30,000 in 2024. Smaller awards extend the same pattern to Christian service organizations such as Compassion International and Campus Crusade. With annual grants of $240,058 and assets of $73,841, the foundation gives at a modest institutional scale, but its recent awards show concentrated support for a small set of faith-linked recipients. The grant records point to a preference for sustaining organizations it already supports, rather than rotating among many unrelated grantees.
Faith-based education is a central theme in the foundation’s giving. In 2024, it awarded $60,000 to All Saints Episcopal School to further the organization’s mission, after giving the same amount there in 2023. Higher education is another clear focus: Baylor University received $50,000 in 2024, also for mission support, and Lubbock Christian University received $10,000 in both 2023 and 2024. Church support appears as a separate strand. Lakeridge United Methodist Church received $30,000 in 2024 after an $8,000 grant in 2023, both for the organization’s mission. The foundation also extends mission support beyond Lubbock through grants to Compassion International and Campus Crusade.
Typical grants cluster around a mid-range institutional size, with a 25th percentile of $4,229, a median of $10,000, and a 75th percentile of $40,000. The recent record shows repeated support to the same recipients across multiple years, including identical awards to several organizations, which suggests continuity rather than one-off giving. The foundation appears to use mission-aligned grants and general support language, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Its giving profile is regional, with a large share of grants staying in Texas.
