Funding Priorities
The CBF Foundation exists to promote, receive and manage endowments, planned gifts and other charitable gifts to provide resources for CBF's strategic initiatives and partner ministries. The foundation:
- Raises and manages endowments for Cooperative Baptist Fellowship ministries and partners, including local churches
- Supports CBF mission and ministry work, focused on spreading good news, justice and hope through missions and ministries
- Provides funding for preaching, teaching, medical and agricultural missionaries
- Supports theological education and various social service agencies
- Funds organisations exploring ethical and ecumenical issues
Recent Grant Pattern
The CBF Foundation makes grants to support the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship's network of ministries and partners rather than open competitive grantmaking. Based on the foundation's mission:
- Grants primarily support CBF-affiliated churches, ministries and mission partners
- Focus on religious, educational and charitable purposes aligned with CBF's Baptist fellowship mission
- Supports both domestic and international ministry work through the CBF network
Organisations seeking funding would need an existing relationship with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship network rather than submitting unsolicited applications.
What They Don't Fund
The foundation does not operate a public grant application process. Funding is directed to support Cooperative Baptist Fellowship initiatives and partners.
Application Process & Timeline
The CBF Foundation does not accept unsolicited grant applications. Grants are made to support Cooperative Baptist Fellowship ministries, partner organisations and affiliated churches as determined by the foundation's trustees.
Organisations interested in the foundation's work should first establish a relationship with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.
