About the Randolph Memorial Endowment Fund

The Roy D. and Ingaborg G. Randolph Memorial Endowment Fund, Inc. was established to support Confessional Lutheran missions, evangelism, publications, church planting, and pro-life ministries through the distribution of annual grants from the fund. Since 2015, the Randolph Fund Board of Directors has distributed more than $2.4 million to dozens of Lutheran organizations.

As a Section 501(c)(3) exempt private foundation, the Randolph Fund also accepts tax-deductible donations, which allow us to extend support to other worthy grant applicants. Click the “Donate to the Fund” link for more information.

Summaries of the Fund’s past revenue, expenses, and assets - as well as annual IRS filings - are available on ProPublica.

Grant applications are due every year on October 15. The next opportunity to apply for a grant will begin on September 1, 2027 and close on October 15, 2027. Click the “Apply for a Grant” tab for more information.

Contact the Randolph Fund’s Board of Directors by sending us an email. Please note that the Randolph Fund employs no paid staff, which allows the Board to devote more resources to grant recipients but also means that we are not equipped to pre-evaluate grant requests, and responses to emails may be delayed.
