Read this first · the figures below need context
53% of The Hope Foundation’s FY2025 grant dollars went to Servants Heart Ministry Corporation, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2025 names 2 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2020, the last year The Hope Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 5 organizations, $165k. It is dated, not current.
