The Acts of Grace Foundation envisions a world in which people are reconciled to God and restored towards the wholeness He originally intended for humanity.
Our Mission
The Acts of Grace Foundation makes grants that build the capacity of marginalized people, communities, the Church and Canadian Christian charities to eliminate unnecessary physical, material and spiritual poverty. In everything we do, Acts of Grace Foundation seeks to empower organizations, transform lives and glorify God.
Our Values
giving to the under-resourced
We value granting to charities that may be less likely to receive funding from larger or public sources. We prioritize projects that serve marginalized people in all corners of the globe.
empowerment
We prioritize grants that increase charity capacity to serve marginalized people or that empower individuals, communities and/or the Church to achieve long-lasting economic self-sufficiency, physical well-being or spiritual growth. We prefer grants that propel projects forward.
measurable impact
We prioritize funding projects that result in measurable improvement in the factors that gave rise to the project. We emphasize charities meeting the proposed specific outcomes that demonstrate the intended end result and impact of the project.
sustainability
We value projects that increase the long-term capacity of individuals, communities and/or the Church to affect and sustain change for themselves or that directly increase the long-term efficiency, effectiveness and impact of charities in serving marginalized people.
TANGIBILITY
We give preference to specific, time-limited initiatives with observable activities, outputs and outcomes. We prefer grants that apply the Foundation's funds to direct project costs.
CANADIAN COMMITMENT
We are committed to providing for a balance of international and Canadian needs.
BIBLICAL APPROACH
We will conduct ourselves in a God-honouring manner and prefer that all applicants do the same.
CHRISTIAN PARTNERSHIP
We only grant to Christian organizations. We value supporting fellow believers who can share the Gospel with others.
