The Eula Mae & John Baugh Foundation is warmly welcoming applications from progressive organizations, working in faith-related spaces for its grant program.

They define faith broadly, and most often fund three types of organizations:
- Progressive Baptist organizations and institutions
- Faith-based, nonprofit organizations that share the Foundation’s ethical sensitivities
