World Vision is a Christian, faith-based global charity powered by Jesus' love that works with children, families, and communities worldwide to tackle the causes of poverty and injustice and to end extreme poverty through faith and action.
World Vision Inc’s recent grantmaking is defined by large, repeat awards to faith-based community organizations and service providers working on development, family assistance, disaster relief, and medical support. The biggest recent grant in the dataset is $11.3 million to CityServe in Bakersfield for development, a signal of the scale at which the foundation operates. Other major awards show the same pattern of direct service delivery: $8.6 million to Nat'l Baptist Convention- Home Missions in Maywood for development and disaster relief, and multi-year support for Christian Appalachia Project in Corbin, Kentucky, which appears repeatedly across 2023, 2024, and 2025. The foundation also backs organizations addressing hunger and health needs, including Children's Hunger Fund, River of Life Christian Church, and Adventist Health - St Helena. Its funding reaches a broad set of recipients, but the grant record shows a strong preference for partners able to deliver services through local institutions and church-linked networks. Grants are not limited to one-size awards; the same grantees can receive substantial support in consecutive years, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than isolated gifts.
In community development, World Vision Inc gave $11,312,880 to CityServe in Bakersfield for development and $5,582,413 to Dream Center - LA in Los Angeles for development. Family assistance is another recurring theme: Jacob's Well - Perris in Perris received $6,534,960 for development/family assistance, while Refreshing Church in Phoenix received $4,513,107 for development/family assistance. The foundation also supports hunger relief through $6,480,899 to Children's Hunger Fund in Pacoima for development and family assistance, followed by another $4,529,224 grant to the same organization in 2025 for development. Medical assistance appears alongside development in grants such as $8,783,915 to Adventist Health - St Helena in American Canyon.
Typical grants fall in a wide range, with a p25 of $17,253, a median of $59,630, and a p75 of $254,402, while the recent-gifts list also includes multi-million-dollar awards. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Christian Appalachia Project, Proviso Missionary Baptist Church, Jacob's Well - Perris, River of Life Christian Church, and Children's Hunger Fund, indicating recurring relationships. World Vision Inc is classified as a regular funder, and it also funds individuals and makes program-related investments. The grant record suggests a mix of smaller awards and very large project grants rather than a single standard grant size.
