Deeply rooted in the value of loving one's neighbor, the grantees engage in innovative efforts to empower their communities and improve the lives of those in need through educational, social, and faith-based programming and services. These churches and nonprofits amplify the strengths present within the communities they serve, enabling creative and sustainable solutions that help make long-lasting change by celebrating and empowering individuals and families and the places they live.

"We are deeply committed to evangelism with social impact and improving the conditions of those living in poverty," said Wendolyn Abel, TMF's vice president of Grants Ministry. "Our grantees demonstrate the power of faith-based social impact and how helping neighbors—whether that be through a college scholarship, a brand-new bed, or access to free healthcare—changes lives in meaningful ways."

The recipients below exemplify the loving and generous work all the grantees in this cycle are doing. To learn more about all the recipients, visit TMF's Partners in Ministry webpage.
