The Signatry Charitable Trust’s recent giving is defined by very large gifts to faith-oriented media and ministry organizations, with the largest grant at $130,669,224 going to Come Near Media Inc in Boulder, Colorado. That scale sits alongside another eight-figure gift of $55,009,000 to Come and See Foundation Inc in Colorado Springs, showing a pattern of concentrated support for organizations tied to Christian communication and community work. The trust also granted $47,328,600 to Every Home for Christ (World Literature Crusade), reinforcing a clear emphasis on religious ministry. Its giving is not limited to one channel: among the largest awards are gifts to community development, education, and religious ministry organizations, including $35,200,674 to One Hope Inc and $31,532,088 to National Christian Foundation. The recent grants list also includes repeated support for organizations connected to the Signatry and Servant Foundation names, indicating an ongoing relationship with affiliated entities. Across the portfolio, the trust appears to fund nonprofit institutions that work in ministry, education, and community development rather than individuals.
Religious ministry is a major theme in the trust’s grantmaking. It gave $47,328,600 to Every Home for Christ (World Literature Crusade) for religious ministry, and $9,183,700 to Answers in Genesis for the same category. Additional gifts went to Mission Mutual, LifeChurch Edmond, Life Collective Inc, North Church Inc, PULSE Outreach, A Light to the Nations, and Priority One, each tied to religious work. Education is another visible area. The trust awarded $17,510,000 to Highlands College, $5,000,100 to Evangel University, $3,245,600 to Edify, and $2,000,000 to Santa Fe South Schools Inc. Community development appears in both institution-based and neighborhood-oriented grants, including $19,182,600 to Alliance Defending Freedom, $11,000,000 to WaterStone (Christian Community Foundation Inc), $3,025,000 to The Eagle Sky Foundation Inc, and $1,756,200 to Vapor Ministries.
Typical grants are in the low five figures: the 25th percentile is $8,061, the median is $12,596, and the 75th percentile is $33,684. That distribution sits alongside a very large upper tail, with several grants far above the median. The recent grant list shows repeated support to some organizations over multiple years and across name variants, including Servant Foundation / Servant Foundation dba The Signatry in 2023, 2024, and 2025, which points to recurring relationships rather than one-off awards. The foundation is a Pure DAF Provider, and it does not fund individuals. Its grantmaking is national, with all recorded recipient-country grants in the United States.
