The Lynn & Foster Friess Family Foundation concentrates its giving exclusively on Christian faith-based philanthropy, channeling large gifts through a national donor-advised intermediary. All recorded grants go to the National Christian Foundation, indicating the foundation prefers to fund religious and charitable work via an organization that distributes to a broad array of faith-based causes rather than making direct grants to operating nonprofits.
Highly concentrated: very large, repeated grants exclusively to a single intermediary (National Christian Foundation), suggesting use of a donor-advised vehicle to fund multiple faith-based recipients rather than direct, diversified grantee support.
