The foundation gives almost exclusively to Latter-day Saint religious work, concentrating large gifts on church operations and media that promote the Come Follow Me curriculum and outreach to bring families to Christ. Grants are programmatic and evangelistic in nature, supporting both the institutional church and affiliated media production rather than secular causes or geographic diversification. The foundation’s giving reflects a clear devotion to faith formation, family discipleship, and LDS-specific teaching resources.
