Crowell Trust Grant

The Crowell Trust Grant focuses on supporting organizations that prioritize evangelism and church planting in under-resourced areas. The trust emphasizes holistic gospel expressions, training leaders across genders, and caring for the oppressed, especially women. Eligible applicants must be registered as tax-exempt organizations in the U.S. and comply with financial accountability standards. The trust aims to uplift communities in need while fostering spiritual and social development through targeted outreach and support.

Our Funding Priorities
Mr. Crowell’s Statement of Beliefs along with the Lausanne Movement’s Capetown Commitment helped to formulate four priorities which further inform our giving.
The unreached, biblically illiterate, highest need and least resourced areas and populations of the world
The regions of the world, and specific people groups, who do not have a christian evangelical presence, nor access to resources which encourage wholeness, and whose populations are at risk due to poverty of body, mind, and spirit. The trust seeks to encourage and enhance evangelism and church planting among indigenous and cross-cultural populations.
Holistic gospel expressions
The demonstration of christ’s love to the world through the integration of mercy and truth; delivering human resources and spiritual care.
Key influencers
The training and equipping of leaders worldwide - both women and men. Discipleship, leadership development and christian education support this priority
Care for the oppressed, especially women, needing care, protection & enablement
Outreach and support of vulnerable people, especially women, protecting them from abuse and unfair treatment, and enabling them to develop into the people god created them to be.
