Overview

The Alvah & Doris Veit Foundation is a New Jersey, Nonprofit corporation functioning as a Charitable Foundation based in Merchantville, NJ. The Foundation was established in 2011 through the generosity of Doris S. Veit formerly of Camden, NJ. The Foundation’s mission is two-fold. First, to provide Academic Grants to graduates of Camden, NJ High Schools who are entering college in pursuit of an Engineering degree. The second purpose is to provide Grants for Christian Evangelical Missions [501- (c)(3)] that are actively sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The charitable interests of the founders are reflected in the Foundation’s mission. It is important to note that while the Foundation operates as one non-profit entity, distributions are divided between Academic Grants to individuals and Evangelical Grants to evangelical Christian organizations. Evangelical Grants The foundation's Evangelical Grants support Christian organizations and individuals whose activities serve to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ nationally and internationally, whose beliefs are in line with the Word of God. The Foundation is authorized to make grants to advance the work of Christian evangelism, encourage church growth, train pastors, evangelists and teachers in non-Christian areas and extend the availability of Scripture to more people.
