Christ-centered
We give priority to organizations that demonstrate the love of Christ by who they are, and by what they do and say.

Dignity
We invest in organizations that refuse to engage in one-way charity and erode human dignity by doing for others what they can do themselves.

Strategic Partnerships
We leverage our grantmaking to foster strategic partnerships in support of effective approaches to solutions addressing unmet community needs. We are eager to collaborate with organizations that share our values, interests and goals, the leaders of which demonstrate a passion for their respective organizational purposes.

Stewardship
We understand that the resources we have are entrusted to us to manage wisely, invest strategically, and work faithfully in keeping with the mission and vision of our founders. We invest in organizations that responsibly use, allocate and redistribute our resources.

Accountability
We expect partner organizations and their respective members to uphold the highest standards of personal accountability from the people they serve in maintaining their spiritual, mental and physical health.

Strategic
We invest in organizations that are strategic, with established realistic goals, clear plans and manageable benchmarks, and demonstrated results. We recognize that lasting change requires our willingness to invest in and take risks on well-conceived ideas. We recognize the role that time, vision, tenacity, patience and persistence play in on-going organizational growth. We also understand the value in learning from mistakes and using them to improve performance.

Success

We invest in organizations which have projects that can be replicated, demonstrate sustainability, and show enduring results that address the root cause of a problem, rather than merely alleviating the symptoms.
