About Operation Compassion
Operation Compassion’s recent giving shows a pattern of large, repeated support for relief and outreach organizations, led by a $23.4 million grant to Cis Development in East Brunswick, New Jersey in 2024 and another $19.1 million grant to the same recipient in 2023. The foundation also made a $14.1 million grant in 2025 to First Christian Church of Harriman in Tennessee and a $12.4 million grant to Serving in Grace in Atlanta, Georgia, showing sustained support for faith-based and humanitarian intermediaries. Its stated purpose is to care for people holistically by meeting physical, emotional, and social needs, and the grant list reflects that approach through disaster response, humanitarian aid, food distribution, and clean water access. Recent awards also include significant support for Christian Appalachia Project in Corbin, Kentucky across multiple years, suggesting that the foundation works through organizations that can deliver direct services in place. With annual grants above $109.9 million, the foundation operates at a substantial scale while keeping its giving focused on emergency and community-based relief.
What Operation Compassion Funds
Disaster relief is one of the clearest themes in the foundation’s giving. In 2024, it gave $591,084 to Various Disaster Relief in Miscellaneous, Tennessee, followed by $487,810 in 2025 to the same recipient. Food security and community support also appear through grants such as $4,633,473 to Doing Good in the Hood in North Lauderdale, Florida in 2025. The foundation’s humanitarian aid work extends to church-based and outreach groups, including $1,359,999 to Crossborders Outreach Ministry in Dallas, Georgia. Clean water access is part of the broader portfolio as well, fitting the foundation’s focus on communities lacking safe drinking water and other basic needs.
How Operation Compassion Gives
Typical grant size ranges from $28,205 at the 25th percentile to a median of $56,363, with the 75th percentile at $305,754. The recent grants list shows a wide spread between routine awards and very large project gifts, including multiple multi-million-dollar grants in successive years. Several recipients appear more than once, which points to recurring support rather than one-time awards alone: Cis Development, Christian Appalachia Project, Cross Catholic Outreach, and Various Disaster Relief all received repeated grants across 2023 to 2025. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The grant record also suggests direct-service, short-term, project-based support rather than an application-led public grant program.
