This looks like a corporate giving programme, not a foundation that reads applications. It reported 3,122 grants, a volume no grants committee reviews one by one. In programmes this size the recipient is usually chosen by an employee or a customer, so a letter from you is unlikely to reach a decision. The record below is still real and worth reading, but treat it as history rather than a prospect.
This foundation funds faith-based organizations. 133 of its 3,122 reported grants went to churches, ministries or other religious organizations, $172K in total. That is what it paid, not what it says in a policy.
Gives every year. This foundation reported grants in 2023, 2024, 2025. A funder that shows up year after year is worth a letter even if this year is a no.

Address as registered with the IRS. Most foundations this size have no website and no application form, which is not a dead end: a short letter to this address is the whole process, and almost nobody sends one.
