Giving Philosophy

This organization does not operate as a traditional philanthropic foundation that makes grants to external organizations. Instead, it functions as a religious society that receives donations from members and uses those funds to support its own religious activities, including publishing religious materials, maintaining Kingdom Halls (places of worship), supporting volunteer ministers, and funding worldwide missionary work through its parent organization.

Wealth Source:Donations from Jehovah's Witnesses congregation members and supporters, along with revenue from property holdings and possibly literature distribution.
Parent:Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania (global headquarters)

Tips for Applicants

This organization does not accept grant applications or distribute philanthropic funding to external organizations. It is a religious organization that supports its own congregational and missionary activities. Those seeking philanthropic support should look to traditional charitable foundations rather than religious societies.
