WHAT WE DO

WE’RE IN THE BUSINESS OF TURNING DREAMS FOR A BETTER FUTURE INTO REALITIES.

DONATE

FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS

The Foundation provides grants and investments to individuals and partner organizations. Those eligible to receive funds must be aligned with the following areas:

1. EDUCATION

Historically, communities have been empowered or disadvantaged by their level of access to education. CNWF seeks to ensure that all communities are provided with the education needed to progress.

 

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…”
–Hosea 4:6


2. EDIFICATION

We seek to serve and lift the least of us in our community. Be it those fighting to emerge from poverty to brothers and sisters persecuted worldwide, we will work tirelessly to lift as many as possible from despair.

 

“For I was hungry and you gave me food… I tell you, in so far as you did it for one of the least of these My brethren, you did it for Me.”
–Matthew 25:35-40


3. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

We engage in stimulating small business development in order to empower communities to prosper, build wealth and contribute to helping others overcome the same challenges.

 

“And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Do Business til I come.”
-Luke 19:13


NON-FINANCIAL SUPPORT

The Foundation also provides non-financial support to individuals and organizations doing business aligned with our mission. This support is anticipated to include information and inspiration delivered through access to business-building facilities and equipment, business mentoring, training on business fundamentals, and free or reduced-rate business services.
