About Lesea Global Feed the Hungry
Lesea Global Feed the Hungry Inc’s recent grantmaking is dominated by large relief grants to food banks and hunger-response organizations, with seven-figure awards reaching Milford Food Bank, Georgia Food & Resource Center, and Arm Full of Help. The pattern is consistent with its mission to feed the poor and hungry, support the church worldwide, and share Christian hope through direct aid. In the latest grants list, the foundation backed a wide mix of domestic relief recipients, including Hands of Hope, Northstar Bridge, and Borderland Food Bank, suggesting a grant strategy built around food distribution rather than small project grants. The scale is substantial: annual grants total more than $145 million, while individual awards commonly reach well into six and seven figures. Recipient names in the recent grants data show both recurring partners and new disbursements across multiple years, with several organizations appearing more than once. The foundation’s public focus areas also point to a broader relief portfolio that includes emergency response, safe water, child nutrition, and faith-based ministry.
What Lesea Global Feed the Hungry Funds
Food relief is the clearest throughline in the recent grants. The foundation gave $11,050,659 to Milford Food Bank for relief and $7,193,051 to Georgia Food & Resource Center for relief, both tied to direct hunger-response work. It also supported Borderland Food Bank with $3,454,204, again under relief, indicating a preference for organizations that distribute food at scale. Emergency response is another visible area. The active programs include emergency relief campaigns for disaster-affected regions, such as Morocco earthquake relief, and appeals for Romania and Ukraine that send food to refugees, seniors, and orphanages. Child-focused giving is reflected in ongoing nourishment and school-feeding programs, including daily meals through local church partners in Kenya and Zimbabwe.
How Lesea Global Feed the Hungry Gives
Typical grants are mid-to-large in size, with a p25 of $39,071, a median of $108,142, and a p75 of $574,038. The recent grants list also shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Hands of Hope, Arm Full of Help, Blessings of Hope, Christian Appalachian Project, and Christmas Behind Bars Outreach Ministries. That repeated pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. The organization is classified as a pure DAF provider, and the grant history shows no individual recipients. Active programs include both unsolicited and non-unsolicited giving channels, depending on the campaign.
