Must Pursue
Stacy Family Foundation (Christian Holistic Ministry) – Strategic funder in our backyard: The Stacy Foundation explicitly supports “Christian organizations worldwide…extending the love and teachings of Jesus.” They fund evangelism/church-planting, leadership development, and holistic projects (exactly Ason’s program areas). Importantly, they are based in Florida (Fort Lauderdale) which could make relationship-building easier (geographic affinity). While they prefer to fund those they know, we can focus on connecting – perhaps via a board introduction or inviting them to see our work. The effort to apply is moderate and they have a rolling application that’s decided monthly. Why must pursue: Ason could secure maybe $25k-$50k here to expand the Ghana school or build a church training center in Asia. This foundation is a values match and likely more accessible than the ultra-large foundations if we invest in outreach.
