Key takeaways

  • Stoller Foundation funds Christ-centred 501(c)(3) ministries whose primary focus is verbally and proactively sharing the Gospel, so your work should be built around evangelism, with priorities in mobilising volunteers, measurable gospel impact and life transformation, and long-term sustainability.
  • It does not fund individuals or for-profit businesses; US applicants must be recognised 501(c)(3) public charities in good standing, international organisations may be considered with an equivalency determination, and fiscal-sponsored applications must come from the sponsoring charity.
  • The filing says it does not accept unsolicited requests and instead identifies and invites aligned organisations, so rather than sending a cold application, make your evangelism work known and be ready for the letter of inquiry step if it engages.
  • There are no submission deadlines, so timing follows its invitation; half of its grants to organisations were $25,000 or less and about 8 in 10 fall between $5,000 and $190,000, so a request near $25,000 is a realistic size, though its largest grant was $5,000,000 and that band is not a ceiling.
  • Relationships appear to matter, since 40% of its grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had funded in an earlier filing, so a first grant may lead to further support.

Priority Areas

The Foundation funds Christ-centred, 501(c)(3) ministries whose primary focus is verbally and proactively sharing the Gospel. It supports programme and collaborative-based grants that advance evangelism, for organisations whose programmes reflect biblical values and a commitment to sharing the gospel verbally. It funds innovative new initiatives with a clear plan and leadership, as well as proven evangelism programmes seeking to grow, be replicated or deepen their gospel impact. Its priorities include mobilising volunteers, measurable gospel impact and life transformation, and long-term sustainability. U.S. applicants must be recognised 501(c)(3) public charities in good standing; international organisations may be considered with an equivalency determination, and fiscal-sponsor applications must be submitted by the sponsoring charity. The foundation proactively identifies and invites aligned organisations rather than accepting unsolicited applications.
