The mission of the funder is to invest in the development of young Christian leaders between the ages of 20-35 who are initiating programs at the intersection of poverty, violence, and inequality in the United States, aiming to create a significant, lasting impact on the programs they lead and their personal leadership skills, with a deep commitment rooted in faith in Christ.
The Emerging Leader Grant aims to support young leaders of Christian organizations in the United States by providing $15,000 over two years. The grant supports new programs addressing poverty, violence, and inequality with $10,000 and allocates $5,000 towards the leadership development of the grantee. Leadership development opportunities include attendance at a Leadership Fundamentals conference and the Global Leadership Summit, plus individualized leadership coaching. The grant seeks leaders who are inspirational, effective communicators, visionary, persistent, capable of building trust, deeply engaged in their community, and have a calling to their work rooted in their faith in Christ.
