Mission: Due to historic inequality, many Black Christian leaders struggle to raise funds to fuel the vision that God has given them for ministry. These individuals and organizations often do not have generational wealth, or relational or professional networks that many white Christian organizations draw from in order to raise support. Through The Witness Foundation, five Black Christian leaders will be able to do their work without the limitations of a lack of resources; they will gain valuable skills and personal networks to support them throughout their lives. Join us in our journey of empowering the next generation of leaders.
Results: Our Inaugural fellowship began in 2021 and will conclude on June 23, 2023.
