MISSION
To empower and support non-profit ministries in rural Mississippi by providing financial resources, training, and opportunities for connection, enabling them to effectively address issues of rural poverty, education, nutrition, and healthcare.
VISION
To create thriving rural communities in Mississippi where all non-profit ministries, especially those led by minorities and Christian-based organizations, have the resources and training needed to overcome challenges, foster growth, and make a lasting impact on the lives of individuals and families.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
We award grants annually in the spring to support new and ongoing programs, helping ministries sustain and expand their efforts.
Each summer, we provide scholarships to college and high school boarding students, and tuition stipends to private Christian school students every fall.
We offer leadership development scholarships as needed for community leaders to enroll in training programs, fostering growth and development.
TRAINING AND EDUCATION
Our annual training workshops in April and September equip non-profit leaders with the skills and knowledge needed to secure and manage funding, and to enhance their organizational effectiveness.
We provide technical support, including equipment, supplies, and access to expert consultants, ensuring ministries have the tools they need to succeed.
NETWORKING AND
COMMUNITY BUILDING
We facilitate networking among community leaders, allowing them to share stories of success and failure, and to support each other as resources.
Our major fundraising event each October spotlights and honors community leaders, fostering a sense of community and recognition for their hard work.
