Stewardship Foundation

• Stewardship Foundation does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered, and an organisation with no existing connection to it should not send one.
• Where a relationship exists, a modest request fits its pattern: about 8 in 10 of its grants to organisations fall between $5,000 and $255,000, half were $25,000 or less, and the median was $25,000, though its largest grant was $3,000,000.
• Its recorded grants go to Christian schools, colleges and seminaries, churches, ministries and mission organisations, and to rescue, social, food, health, disability and public-interest work, so those are the areas to match.
• The filing shows 85% of its grant dollars in its latest filing went to organisations it had also funded earlier, which suggests it works largely through established relationships.
• Its grants are mainly in California and Illinois by dollars, but no geographic focus is stated, so location should not be treated as a rule.
