    About Tyndale House Ministries

    Tyndale House Ministries is a Christian faith-based grantmaker that concentrates on supporting evangelical mission organizations, Bible translation and publishing, and Christian higher-education and school programs. A large share of grants are directed to international ministry partners and leadership development initiatives, with additional funding for refugee/disaster relief and locally based community ministries. The foundation prefers general operating and program support across repeat grantees rather than one-off project funding, often supporting organizations engaged in Scripture distribution, theological training, and mission mobilization.

    About Tyndale House Ministries

    Tyndale House Ministries’ recent grants show a clear pattern of support for Christian publishing, Bible translation, and evangelical mission organizations, with large awards also reaching theological education and relief work. Among the biggest recent grants, Media Associates International received $308,500 for general program support in 2023 and $272,720 in 2024 for LITTAFRICA CONF 2023 and general support, while ScholarLeaders International received $298,265 in 2023 for general program support and Ukrainian Relief. Those awards sit alongside recurring support for organizations that distribute Scripture, train Christian leaders, and back mission networks. The foundation’s grantmaking is not limited to one lane. It also funds faith-based service organizations and church ministries, including World Relief, the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago, IFES, and Pioneers. Several grants are unrestricted or broadly designated for general program support, which suggests a preference for flexible operating support alongside project-based awards. The mix of recipients ranges from publishers and leadership networks to Christian schools and local ministries, showing a portfolio built around evangelical institutions and faith-centered community work. Recent grants also include support tied to specific initiatives, such as conference funding, relief, and publishing projects.

    What Tyndale House Ministries Funds

    Bible translation and publishing are central themes in the portfolio. In 2025, Tyndale House Ministries gave $97,885 to Wycliffe Bible Translators for general program support, and it also awarded $89,500 to New Horizons Foundation for DIGIBOOKS PRESS-SOLAR. Media Associates International received multiple large grants for general support and for LITTAFRICA CONF 2023, reinforcing the role of publishing and Scripture-related media in the foundation’s work. Leadership development and theological education also appear repeatedly. Faith and Learning International received $135,000 in 2025 and $102,000 in 2023 for general program support, while Forum of Christian Leaders received $97,000 in 2024 for general program support. Christian higher education is another clear line of giving: Wheaton Christian Grammar School received $106,500 in 2025 for general program support, reflecting support for schools within the Christian education ecosystem. The foundation also funds relief-oriented faith ministries. World Relief received $128,000 in 2023 for general program support and Earthquake relief Turkey, and ScholarLeaders International received a grant tied to Ukrainian Relief.
