Foreign Mission Foundation concentrates its giving on faith‑based international development and mission partners, with a strong emphasis on organizations working in South Asia. Most grants are labeled as general charitable support and flow to church ministries, mission trusts, and community development groups that suggest work in evangelism, rural/tribal outreach, education, and child welfare. The foundation makes relatively few, large grants and repeats funding to a small set of preferred grantees.
Concentrated giving: a small number of large grants (majority of funds to top recipients), with repeat multi‑year or follow‑on grants to favored partners rather than many one‑off awards.
Foreign Mission Foundation’s largest recent grants center on Etani in New Delhi, including $581,560 in 2023, $440,894 in 2024, and $465,514 in 2025 for charitable support. That repeated backing points to a portfolio built around a small number of mission-oriented partners rather than many one-time awards. Across the recent grants list, the foundation’s support goes to faith-based organizations, mission trusts, and community development groups, with recurring funding to organizations working in India and the United States. The grants suggest an emphasis on evangelical outreach, rural and tribal community work, education, and child welfare, often framed as charitable support rather than restricted project funding. Several recipients reappear across multiple years, including Arise and Shine Society, Badavo Banjara Phozear Trust, Bhartiya Sewak Sangati, Trinity Mission Trust, and New Creation Charitable Society. In the U.S., the foundation also supports churches and ministries in Oregon and beyond, while India remains a major destination for its international mission giving. The overall pattern is one of concentrated, repeated support for a limited group of faith-based grantees.
In mission and church ministry work, Foreign Mission Foundation gave $123,130 in 2023 and $39,360 in 2024 to Trinity Mission Trust in Bhawanipatna, both labeled charitable support. Its support also reaches evangelical organizations such as Logos Faith Foundation in Ambala Cantt, which received $70,000 in 2023 and $15,000 in 2024. For rural and tribal community development, the foundation awarded $356,000 in 2024 to Badavo Banjara Phozear Trust in Kundanpally and $171,000 in 2023 to Bhartiya Sewak Sangati in Nagpur, followed by a $60,000 grant in 2024. Child welfare and education appear in its backing of New Creation Charitable Society in Jabalput, which received $45,249 in 2023, $35,050 in 2024, and $53,145 in 2025. The foundation also supports mission-related organizations such as TACDP-The Asian Christian Devl in Brierfield Nelson.
Foreign Mission Foundation’s typical grant size sits at a p25 of $3,600, a median of $10,232, and a p75 of $37,638. Recent awards show a smaller set of larger, repeated grants alongside many mid-sized charitable support payments. The same recipients appear in multiple years, including Etani, Arise and Shine Society, Badavo Banjara Phozear Trust, Trinity Mission Trust, and New Creation Charitable Society. That repetition suggests relationship-based, portfolio-style giving. The foundation funds organizations rather than individuals and is not making program-related investments. The grant labels are mostly broad charitable support, which points to flexible funding rather than narrowly specified project grants.
