Restrictions

We promote the long term improvement of individual lives and development of positive leadership by funding organizations who do not offer simply a temporary solution for an improved quality of life, but rather those organizations or groups who instill in the individuals touched the importance of the following values: substance free living, elimination of personal violence and crime, the value of civic responsibility, the importance of continued education for gainful employment, and faith in the saving grace of Jesus Christ. We give preference to those organizations which have custom programs for working one on one with individuals who will then turn their lives around and have a positive impact on people in their own sphere of influence. Except in rare circumstances, grants are currently limited to programs and projects that will impact the communities in the following geographic areas: Moneta, VA; Fort Worth, TX; Chicago, IL; Hartford, CT; New York, NY; Provo, UT.
