Grant Programs

Every business we support carries both economic and spiritual importance. The Christian Foundation for Advancement designed its grant programs to meet entrepreneurs where they are — from new beginnings to established enterprises — ensuring that each stage of growth strengthens both community and faith.
Each grant is paired with mentorship, stewardship, and accountability grounded in Christian values.

Beyond the Grant

Our work does not end with financial support. Each recipient of a CFA grant also receives ongoing guidance and encouragement from a network of Catholic and Christian business leaders who volunteer their time and expertise. We believe that true impact comes from walking alongside those we serve.

Every CFA grant includes:

Guided Mentorship & Coaching

Each awardee receives personal guidance from seasoned Christian business leaders who share both expertise and faith-based insight.

Ongoing Partnership & Support

We stay connected through structured follow-ups that track progress, strengthen strategy, and encourage continued growth.

Trusted Networks & Resources

Awardees gain access to our extended circle of partners, training tools, and business opportunities rooted in shared values.

Stewardship & Accountability

Every grant is managed with care, transparency, and prayerful oversight to ensure long-term success and faithful impact.
