Praise The Lord Foundation concentrates almost exclusively on funding Christian ministry and church-centered initiatives, primarily supporting individual evangelists, revival ministries, and local congregations in the Los Angeles area. Their giving favors direct donations to ministry leaders and small churches rather than institutional charities or secular causes. The foundation appears mission-driven toward evangelism, revival/charismatic ministry activity, and faith-based community outreach.
Concentrated, religion-focused giving: a small number of relatively large direct donations to ministry leaders and churches, including repeat gifts to the same grantee (notably David Hernandez Ministries), with limited diversification outside Christian ministries.
Notable grantees: David Hernandez Ministries, LIVG Ministry, Prophet Rob Sanchez Ministries, Alabaster Heart Foundation, Kingdom of God Global Church
Praise the Lord Foundation’s recent giving is dominated by a single large donation: $450,000 to David Hernandez Ministries in Downey, California in 2023. That grant sits alongside a pattern of recurring support for charismatic and revival-oriented ministries, including repeated gifts to Kenneth Copeland Ministries and Warrior Notes, plus funding for local churches and ministry-led outreach. The foundation’s profile is strongly centered on Christian ministry work rather than broad charitable sectors, with awards often going directly to ministry organizations or church bodies. The scale of the foundation’s grants ranges from very small gifts to one very large outlier. In the same recent set, it made $80,000 to Livg Ministry in Merced and $12,000 to Prophet Rob Sanchez Ministries in Merced, showing that it supports both larger ministry budgets and smaller operating needs. Other recipients include Lakewood Church in Houston and Kingdom of God Global Church in Taylor, reflecting a mix of California-based and out-of-state Christian organizations. The foundation also appears comfortable funding the same ministries more than once across multiple years, which suggests an ongoing relationship-driven approach to giving.
Praise the Lord Foundation supports charismatic and Pentecostal ministry work through direct grants to evangelistic leaders and revival-focused organizations. David Hernandez Ministries received $450,000 in 2023 and another $6,000 in 2024, showing continued support for a single ministry over time. The foundation also funded Prophet Rob Sanchez Ministries with $12,000 in 2023 and Livg Ministry with $80,000 the same year. Church-centered support is another clear theme. Acts Revival Center in San Jose received $1,500 in 2023, while Kingdom of God Global Church in Taylor received $4,255 in 2024 and additional $700 gifts in 2025. Smaller awards also went to Lakewood Church and Td Jakes Foundation, which places part of the portfolio in broader church and faith-based nonprofit work. Alabaster Heart Fdn in Pleasanton received $7,000 in 2025 for charity purposes.
Typical grants cluster around $1,200, with the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile all reported at $1,200 for the recent grant set. That points to a grantmaking pattern with many small awards and a few much larger exceptions, including a $450,000 grant at the top of the range. Several recipients appear in multiple years, such as David Hernandez Ministries, Warrior Notes, Kenneth Copeland Ministries, and Kingdom of God Global Church, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than one-off support. Praise the Lord Foundation does not make program-related investments and does not fund individuals.
