Champions for Christ Foundation, Inc. Our purpose is to assist students through a scholarship program those who are Christ’s servants called to follow Him, commissioned to share His word, dedicated to ministry, and leading others to Christ.
Facts
The Champions for Christ Foundation was established in 1986 by a member of City View First Baptist Church in Greenville, South Carolina. The purpose of the foundation is to provide scholarships to students who endeavor to enter full time Christian service. In 1996 Champions for Christ became incorporated as a nonprofit corporation and in 1997 received 501c3 tax free exempt status from the IRS.
The money donated to the foundation is invested in government backed investments and the yield from the investments are awarded to deserving students as scholarship moneys. The principle will never be spent. The expense of operating the foundation is taken from the investment income and has always been less than 5%. The Champions for Christ Foundation began with a $50,000 gift in 1986. The fund has grown to over $1,500,000. The foundation has awarded over $1,200,000 in scholarships to students going into full time ministry.
With Gods’ help, Champions for Christ will provide financial aid for students entering full time Christian service until the Lord’s return. Over the years, Champions for Christ has grown from donations, estates, individuals, corporations, churches, and even recipients themselves.
