Hesta Stuart Christian Charitable
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The filing shows grants mainly to Methodist churches, university and college campus ministries, community organisations and health-related charitable foundations, with campus ministries recurring, so a group of one of those kinds has the clearest fit.
- Although the grants are mainly in Texas, no geographic focus is stated, so a group elsewhere should ask rather than assume it is excluded.
- About 8 in 10 of its 40 grants fall between $10,000 and $50,000, with a median of $10,000, so a modest request suits it, though its largest grant was about $130,000 and that band is not a ceiling.
- Repeat recipients took 88% of its grant dollars, so the route is relationship-led and a first approach should not be expected to be quick.
- Requests are accepted only by its fixed deadline of September 30, and must include the organisation's name and purpose, a list of board members, an exemption letter, and the amount and purpose requested.
Overview
Hesta Stuart Christian Charitable is a US private foundation administered by its trustee, JP Morgan Chase Bank NA, in Chicago, IL.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, TY2023, TY2022) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 13 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The filings do not state a general funding field or describe a broader grantmaking approach. The recorded recipients include Methodist churches, university and college campus ministries, community organisations and health-related charitable foundations. Campus ministries recur across the reported grant rows, alongside awards to community service and health organisations. Grant purposes are overwhelmingly recorded as general, with one award described as general operating support. The filings do not describe specific activities the grants are intended to support, so the recipient types and generic purpose descriptions are the clearest account of the giving.
Geographic Focus
No geographic focus is stated; the filings show grants mainly in Texas.
How to apply
