The Christ the King Foundation, formed in March 1989, has been making grants for these past 30 years with a mission to support requests for educational, charitable, and missionary projects. Funding for grants is determined by allocating a fixed percentage (currently 5% annually) of the invested asset base. Grants are solicited twice a year, April 1 and October 1, and reviewed for approval by the Board’s nine members within three targeted categories of:
- Christ the King congregational needs
- Community needs
- Global mission
- Completion of Pastor’s House in Kising’a, Nduili Parish, Tanzania: Construction support for a new pastor’s house for an Associate Pastor in our companion Nduli parish preaching point village of Kising’a in Tanzania where the worshiping population continues to grow. (Global Missions)
- Mutual Language Learning: Support for an experienced Spanish language trainer to increase mutual learning and understanding among members of Cristo Rey and CTK. (split between Congregational needs and Community needs)
- Financial System Migration and Software: One-time support to transition the CtK accounting system from a server-based system to a cloud-based system to provide current generational support to church accounting capabilities. (Congregational needs)
- Daily Work Program – one-time consultant support to provide the Daily Work program (community job placement) with improved effectiveness of their case management software system, Apricot. (Community)
- CtK Youth Room Renovation to improve the utility and appeal to the important ministry of CtK youth. This grant is viewed by the Board as a support of “relaunching” the CtK Youth Program with Amity Lantz now onboard as our new Director of Youth and Family Faith Formation. (Congregational needs)
- Ralph Reeder Food Shelf Support Fundraiser: This grant serves as a matching grant for other donors and resulted in a very successful project raising in the range of $10,000 for the Food Shelf. (Community)
