To promote the Kingdom of God through the approved ministries of Second Presbyterian Church by developing, investing, and disbursing financial resources for strategic ministries in Memphis, America, and around the world.
Second Presbyterian Church Foundation Inc. channels most of its grantmaking through church, school, and ministry partners that fit its mission to support approved ministries of Second Presbyterian Church. In the recent grants list, the largest award went to Second Presbyterian Church in Memphis for $898,293 in general support, followed by $253,080 to Presbyterian Day School, also for general support. Those two grants show how the foundation backs core institutional work rather than short-term project funding alone. The foundation’s recent giving also reaches counseling, Christian education, and ministry training. Memphis-based Christian Psychological Center received $225,000 for general support, while Visible Music College received $103,590. Other large grants went to Neighborhood Christian Center and to ministry organizations outside Tennessee, including Third Millennium and Gospel Coalition. Across the data, the foundation appears to use a mix of direct operating support, scholarship-related support, and strategic grants for ministries tied to church life, leadership development, and community impact.
A major theme is support for Christian education. Presbyterian Day School received $253,080 in 2024 for general support, and Evansville? No—within the data, other education-related grants include Visible Music College at $103,590 and Colligete School of Memphis at $40,000. Seminary support also appears through Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi, at $16,613. The foundation also funds counseling and community work. Christian Psychological Center in Memphis received $225,000, and Neighborhood Christian Center received $98,475 in 2024 and $73,686 in 2023. For ministry development, Campus Outreach Serve received $50,000 in 2024 and $28,000 in 2023, showing support for recurring ministry partners. Internationally oriented church and theological work is present too: Gospel Coalition in Austin received $60,000, and China Partnership in Metuchen received $20,000.
Typical awards sit in the mid-five-figure range: p25 is $13,548, median is $26,500, and p75 is $57,500. The recent-grants list shows repeated support for several recipients across years, including Second Presbyterian Church, Presbyterian Day School, Neighborhood Christian Center, Campus Outreach Serve, Colligete School of Memphis, Evangelical Christian School, and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. That pattern points to ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. The foundation is a church foundation, and the active programs emphasize designated funds, strategic grants, scholarship funds, and youth-directed giving. Some grant pathways are unsolicited, including the General Grant Disbursement process and Youth Stewardship grants.
