Redeemer City to City’s (RCTC’s) mission is to prayerfully help leaders start and strengthen churches to advance the gospel together in their cities.
Redeemer City To City’s recent grants show a clear emphasis on church planting development and leadership development, with large awards repeated to the same city networks over multiple years. In 2024, City to City Miami received $292,500, and Surge Network in Peoria, AZ received $262,811, both tied to church planting development and leadership development. The pattern continues across major urban centers: The Chicago Partnership in Chicago, IL received $180,000 in 2024 after a $265,000 grant in 2023, while Crossbridge Church in Miami, FL received $74,000 in 2024 following $68,000 in 2023. These grants fit the organization’s mission of helping leaders start and strengthen churches to advance the gospel together in their cities. The recipient list also includes church-planting and leadership-support grants to organizations such as Stratum in San Francisco, Bay Ridge NY Foursquare Church in Brooklyn, and One Community Church in New York. The portfolio centers on capacity building for new and growing faith communities, especially in city-based settings.
Church planting and leadership development sit at the center of Redeemer City To City’s grantmaking. The foundation awarded $108,000 to Influential Global Ministries in West Sacramento, CA for church planting development and leadership development, and $75,000 to TogetherLA in Pasadena, CA for the same purpose. It also gave $75,013 to Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS, indicating support for theological training tied to church-planting work. Beyond planting, the portfolio includes grants to congregational partners such as Holy Trinity Church in Chicago, IL and Joy Christian Fellowship in Englewood, NJ, both funded for church planting development and leadership development. Across these awards, the common thread is strengthening leaders, institutions, and new church initiatives in urban settings.
Typical grants cluster around a median of $20,000, with a p25 of $10,000 and p75 of $40,000, while the recent grant list also includes larger capacity-building awards well above that range. The same recipients appear in multiple years, including City to City Miami, Surge Network, The Chicago Partnership, Crossbridge Church, Stratum, Bay Ridge NY Foursquare Church, Expansion Covenant Church Inc, and One Community Church, which points to recurring support rather than one-off awards. The organization is structured as a foundation making program grants; it does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The grant pattern is consistent with staged support for church networks and related training organizations.

New York also receives substantial attention: the recent list includes Brooklyn, Corona, New Rochelle, Jamaica, Mount Vernon, and New York City. Other recurring cities include Miami, Chicago, Pasadena, San Francisco, and West Sacramento. Because the recipient distribution is domestic only, the geography reads as a regional U.S. network of city-based church and leadership partners rather than a national or international portfolio.
