Courtney Christian Charitable Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- Courtney Christian Charitable Foundation makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so the sensible first step is an introduction or relationship rather than a cold application.
- Its recorded support is chiefly general and unrestricted and has gone to ministries and a shelter organisation, with another recorded purpose being aid for disaster relief in the United States and Israel; no overarching field of interest is stated, so judge fit against those recorded recipients.
- Most of its grants are modest: half of its eight grants to organisations were $50,000 or less, and its typical grants fall between $35,000 and $100,000 with a median of $50,000, so a request in that region matches its record, though that band is not a ceiling.
- All of its grant dollars to organisations in its most recent filing went to organisations it had also funded the previous year, so an existing relationship and a record of ongoing support appear to count for a great deal.
- The filings show grants mainly in North Carolina, Oklahoma, Ohio and Indiana, but no geographic focus is stated, so do not rule yourself out on location alone.
Overview
Courtney Christian Charitable Foundation is a US private foundation based in Wilmington, DE.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2023, TY2022) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The filings do not state an overarching field of interest. Recorded support is chiefly described as general and unrestricted and went to ministries and a shelter organisation. Another purpose recorded was aid for disaster relief in the United States and Israel. The grants were made to charitable organisations, and all recipients listed in the filings received repeated support. The records do not set out broader eligibility criteria, a preferred area of operation or other priority areas, so the directory description is limited to the purposes and recipient types shown in the grant record.
Geographic Focus
No geographic focus is stated; the filings show grants mainly in North Carolina, Oklahoma, Ohio and Indiana.
