The Soonae Foundation concentrates almost all of its funding on a very small set of faith‑oriented organizations, providing large, unrestricted gifts to support core organizational mission and operations. Their giving appears mission-driven toward ministries and faith-based relief/development work, with multiple substantial payments to a single flagship grantee. Grants are general operating support rather than project‑restricted funding.
Extremely concentrated giving: very few grants, large dollar amounts, repeat multi‑year support to a single primary grantee (RUN MINISTRY), and general/unrestricted support rather than many small or diversified awards.
A single grantee dominates the Soonae Foundation’s recent record: Run Ministry received $8,050,000 in 2024, $3,600,000 in 2025, and $3,200,000 in 2023, all marked as support for organizational mission. That pattern makes the foundation’s priorities easy to read: it gives large, unrestricted gifts to a small circle of faith-oriented nonprofits, with mission support recurring across multiple years. The foundation’s grantmaking also reaches beyond that flagship relationship. The Apt Foundation received $1,100,000 in 2023 for organizational mission, while Hope Builders International received $1,018,500 in 2025. Other awards go to churches, ministries, and relief-oriented organizations, including Evangelical Baptist Church, Austin Disaster Relief Network, and Rescuing Lives. The same language appears again and again in the purpose field, pointing to general operating support rather than narrow project funding. Soonae Foundation’s recent giving is substantial even by private-foundation standards, but it is not spread widely. The grant list shows repeated support for the same organizations across years, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. Several recipients appear in Texas, Virginia, Florida, and Arkansas, and one grant went to Haiti through a foreign-recipient listing.
Faith-based ministry is a central theme. Run Ministry received $8,050,000 in 2024 and $3,600,000 in 2025, both described as support for organizational mission. The foundation also gave $850,000 in 2025 and $320,000 in 2024 to Evangelical Baptist Church, again for organizational mission. Relief and development work appears in several grants. Hope Builders International was awarded $1,018,500 in 2025 and $355,000 in 2024, each for organizational mission. Austin Disaster Relief Network also received support, including $444,999 in 2024 and $120,001 in 2025. The foundation also backs other mission-oriented religious nonprofits. The Apt Foundation received $1,100,000 in 2023 to support organizational mission, while International Prayer Connect received $60,000 in both 2024 and 2025.
The typical grant size is $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $37,500 at the median, and $98,050 at the 75th percentile. That distribution sits alongside a much larger upper end, driven by repeated multimillion-dollar awards. The same organizations appear across multiple years, especially Run Ministry, Hope Builders International, Rescuing Lives, Globeserve International, and International Prayer Connect, which points to recurring support rather than one-off gifts. The foundation does not make program-related investments and does fund individuals. The grant language in the recent record is consistently phrased as support for organizational mission, indicating general operating support.
