Servant Foundation
The Signatry advances the Christian faith by carrying out its mission, "to inspire and facilitate revolutionary biblical generosity across generations to solve the world's greatest problems," through financial and other support of I.R.C.
Read this first · the figures below need context
76% of Servant Foundation’s FY2025 grant dollars went to The Signatry Charitable Trust, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2025 names 1320 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2023, the last year Servant Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 2037 organizations, $575M. It is dated, not current.
Organizations named directly on the return

Does the money reach high-need areas?
Each grant placed by the hardship in its grantee’s ZIP, against the area’s typical level.
Its human-services grants (FY19–25, $60.0M) land where the poverty rate runs at 12%, against an area that typically sits at 10%. 73% of those dollars go to grantees based in above-average-need neighborhoods. Most of its grants land in higher-need ZIPs.

Who it funds again
Organizations funded in more than one year, against those funded once.
Grantees it renews have grown median revenue +28% since the first grant, against 0% for those funded once.
1574 repeat relationships: 1222 still active in FY2023, 352 since wound down; 220 grantees were first funded in FY2023 (too recent to call). Read against FY2023, the last year this funder named its own grantees directly; its giving has since run through a sponsor, which reports no donor behind each grant.

How this is measured
1337 grantees tracked through their own filings, 2017–2025.
Each grant beside the grantee’s revenue from every source, year by year.
How this is measured
Counted here: distinct organizations funded across 2017 to 2025, not grant rows in a single year, so this will not match the grant count on the cover. 1337 of the 2,000 grantees resolved in that span have returns of their own we could reconcile.
Each grantee is resolved to its own IRS returns. Association, dated; never a causal claim.

Co-funders
Grantmakers whose grantees overlap with this funder’s far more than size alone predicts. Closer means stronger alignment; arcs show where they also fund each other. Here they form a tightly interlocked group: most of these funders back each other's grantees too.
