Christian nonprofits and ministries play a significant role in the social-service landscape, providing humanitarian aid and mission-driven programs. These organizations are constantly seeking funding to support a wide range of activities, from orphan care, special needs ministry, and anti-trafficking initiatives to local community outreach.

Funding for Christian nonprofits is available from foundations with a specific religious focus, such as Benefact Trust, which supports projects run by Christian organizations. Other funders, like the Lb Charitable Foundation, explicitly list "Christian Ministries and Outreach Efforts" as a key funding area. These grants can be managed through donor-advised funds or come from corporate foundations with an interest in faith-based work.

The most important factor in securing grants is finding funders whose mission is highly compatible with the organization's specific aims and values. Research is critical and should focus on foundations with a stated preference for funding Christian organizations or specific projects, such as the Lilly Endowment's long-standing work with Christian congregations.
