"The grant was more than just funding; it was a vote of confidence from the body of Christ. The strategic support allowed us to secure a visible storefront in a high-traffic area, leading to a launch that exceeded our wildest expectations. We couldn't have done it without this partnership."
"I've coached dozens of planters, and those partnered with this foundation have a distinct advantage. The combination of financial stability and access to their mentor network prevents early burnout and sets churches up for long-term health, not just a flashy launch."
"Because of the Community Transformation Grant, we launched a weekly community meal that has become the heartbeat of our ministry. It's not just about food; it's about building relationships that allow us to share the Gospel in a tangible way. The impact has been profound."
"As a long-time donor, I get to see the direct impact of my giving. This foundation meticulously vets its planters and provides accountability. I'm not just giving to a cause; I'm investing in specific, sustainable kingdom projects that yield real fruit."
"The application process was thorough but incredibly affirming. It forced us to refine our vision and strategy. The feedback we received was invaluable, and when we were approved, we felt genuinely known and supported, not just funded."
"Many grants focus on urban centers, but this foundation saw the need in our small, rural town. Their belief in our mission gave us the resources to reach a community that was often overlooked. Their flexibility was a game-changer for us."
"The Leadership Residency Grant allowed us to bring on an associate pastor we were mentoring. This not only grew our capacity but also created a pipeline for future leadership. They are investing in the future of the church, not just the present."
"We partner with this grant foundation because their doctrine is sound and their process is excellent. They are a reliable, strategic force for good in the church planting ecosystem, amplifying our ability to support our planters effectively."
"The multi-year funding model was crucial. It gave us the breathing room to focus on discipleship and community building instead of constant financial worry in our first three critical years. We are now a self-sustaining, reproducing church."
"They truly care about the planter's soul and family, not just the project's success. The pastoral care from the foundation's team and the connections with other grantees made us feel like we weren't alone on an island. It was a true partnership."
