Worldwide, 570 million children live in extreme poverty, vulnerable to many factors that threaten their well-being. Children need protection, support and care at each stage of childhood to stay safe, healthy, learning and on track to achieve their potential. ChildFund works with local partner organizations, governments, corporations and individuals to help create the safe environments children need to thrive.
Worldwide, 570 million children are living in poverty. Parents too often lack the resources to give their children what they need. For too many families, access to health care is a luxury, and opportunities for education and employment are severely limited. ChildFund's programs address these issues so that children around the world can thrive at every stage of their lives.
A child's chance of accessing his or her true potential diminishes when any one of these factors is missing:

The Mustard Seed Foundation provides seed funding through matching grants for start-up projects of local churches in the largest urban centers of the world. Please read the following information thoroughly, and if you have additional questions see the FAQ.
Granting Priorities
Grant requests submitted to the Foundation are viewed in light of the following priorities by which grant decisions are made. All prospective grant applicants are strongly urged to pay close attention to these priorities when deciding whether to submit an application.
Urban
The Foundation has a strong interest in the unique challenges faced by the urban church. As the world rapidly urbanizes, we believe large cities are particularly strategic. We seek to encourage the establishment of new ministry in the largest urban centers worldwide. Approximately 80 percent of all grants we award support projects in major urban centers.
Small and Startup
As our name implies, the Mustard Seed Foundation provides seed funding for start-up projects. We give priority to projects that are grassroots or plan to become locally managed and sustained. We do not provide ongoing support for projects that were started more than three years ago.
Individuals in Community
We seek to partner with local congregations that identify, equip, and support their members who are called to specific areas of ministry in the church, the marketplace, and the world. The projects we support are typically started through the vision, calling, and gifting of individuals who are then supported by their local church. We believe it is a fundamental responsibility of every local congregation to nurture, encourage, and support the visions of their members that are God-given and kingdom-oriented.
Dynamic
We look for creative initiatives that offer innovative approaches to local church-based ministries. We desire to support dynamic projects that show the love of Jesus in word and action. Therefore, we typically do not fund individuals who are serving in administrative roles, or projects for debt relief, land or building purchases.
Local Church Accountability and Financial Support
We recognize the Church as God’s primary representative in the world. We also believe the local congregation of believers is His primary representative within a particular geographic area. Therefore, we consider local church accountability and financial support primary indicators of the priority, integrity, and sustainability of a particular project. A church must be willing to invest financially in a project for Mustard Seed to consider funding that project. We do not consider in-kind contributions alone as local church financial support. Projects initiated by parachurch organizations or denominational bodies will only be considered if there is clear evidence of financial support from a local church or multiple congregations.
Partnership
Mustard Seed seeks to help launch projects as a minority partner, providing funds over a limited time period and in a way that encourages self-sufficiency and reliance on the local church. Therefore, we will typically only fund up to 50 percent of the total cost of a project in any given year.
Granting Regions
Please choose a region below to read about our target cities and granting guidelines in different parts of the world.
How to Apply
1. Read our guidelines in the region of your project.
2. Contact Us and tell us:
– A description of the initiative
– The cost of the project
– Grant amount being sought
– Major sources of financial support (including that of a church or churches)
3. A staff member will respond to your inquiry and, if you qualify for funding, will send you a grant application form to complete.
The application form includes:
– Personal Statement of Faith of the applicant
– Background Information
– Project Summary / Purpose of Grant
– Local Church Involvement
– Current Year Church Budget
– Previous Year Church Budget
– Project Budget
– Church Governing Board Members
– Legal Documentation
– Church Statement of Faith / Mission Statement
Thank you for your interest in contacting us.
Before you send an enquiry please remember the following:
We partner with local church congregations located in the largest and most influential cities in the world.
When we partner with a congregation we do so by matching their own giving, and to help them start up new ministry in their own neighborhood.
We typically fund no more than 50% of a project budget in the first year. When we partner for more than one year our investment declines.
We do not provide support for projects for debt relief, land or building purchases or involving large capital expenditures.
If your enquiry does not appear to be a good fit for our granting priorities, you may not receive a response from us. We commonly receive many enquiries and more requests than we could possibly support. Thank you for your understanding.
Church-Based Granting: Please choose the Granting Region based upon the location of the project as the “area of inquiry”.
Harvey Fellows Program: Please read all of the Applicant information before sending us an inquiry below. Please select Harvey Fellows as the “area of inquiry”.

Churches and ministries that are looking to expand staffing capacities, run an internship program, plant a church, send missionaries, or do short-term outreaches – we can help. By relieving you of the administration, we come alongside and help by processing anything that involves fundraising.
Individuals can be anyone currently in ministry or looking to go into ministry where raising financial support is necessary. Whether you are a missionary (domestic or international), campus ministry staff, ministry intern, or church planter, if you need to raise personal support we can help you accomplish your goals.
If you are a small ministry or launching a new ministry, Donor Fund can help you with administration needs so that you can focus on your mission more fully. Whether it be for a short time or an extended period, we can help provide an administrative covering that extends peace of mind to you, your donors, and your Board.
When other mission organizations and churches did not quite understand our mission to reach the generation that comprises backpackers, Donor Fund did. They have been a perfect partner…. patient, kind, informative, loving, understanding, encouraging, and prayerful on our behalf – and incredibly responsive to meet our needs.
