Best Temples and Religious Trusts Companies in United States
The 3426 best Temples and Religious Trusts companies in United States in 2026, ranked by funding and momentum. Funding, investors, founders, valuation, tech stack and live signals. Top: Higherd Legal.
Tracking the best Temples and Religious Trusts companies in the United States, this directory covers 3,426 outfits ranked by disclosed equity funding and recent momentum. Total disclosed funding across the sector sits at $24M, which is modest but telling. Higherd Legal leads at $6M raised, followed by Return Home at $5M, with Npm and Narthex each pulling $3M. No unicorns here. But the capital is moving, and the investor mix, including Praxis, AMDG Ventures, and HHS, signals that mission-driven money is finding this space seriously.
So what's the actual pull? Median install growth of roughly +16% year-over-year across 185 religious and institutional apps tells you digital engagement with faith communities is accelerating, not stalling. Themes like mindfulness, spiritual awakening, and mystical experience are driving coverage cycles right now, and I'd argue that shift is structural, not seasonal. As shown in 2014 research, social and spiritual networks operate through deeply embedded community ties, which means retention in this sector runs unusually high once you've got it. If you're mapping players in this space, the funding spread here is your clearest starting point.
