Grants Providing Hope For The Poor, Widows and Orphans
Where Vulnerability Meets Hope, Transformation Begins
We are pleased to announce a grant initiative dedicated to providing hope for the poor, widows, and orphans. In 2026, we will award $1 million in grants—ranging from $10,000 to $100,000—to support programs and initiatives that meet these critical needs
The Challenge
Approximately 700 million people—8.5 percent of humanity—endure extreme poverty, living on less than $2.15 a day.
Nearly half of humanity—3.5 billion people—live on under $6.85 a day. This global crisis demands more than awareness; it demands action. Join us in advocating for dignity, opportunity, and lasting change.
God’s Request To Us
What The Bible Says About Helping the Poor, Widows and Orphans
Across more than 2,000 passages, Scripture reveals God’s deep concern for the poor and commands us to respond with generosity, food, kindness, and care. The Bible’s examples of compassionate action show that when we serve the poor, we serve and honor God Himself.
Throughout Scripture, widows and orphans are mentioned again and again, revealing God’s profound concern for their care. Widows appear about 80 times, and orphans about 40 times, underscoring God’s call to protect and support the vulnerable.
