An endowment is a fund that is invested to provide long‑term support for a particular nonprofit organization or cause in perpetuity. A portion of the fund is made available annually while the remaining assets are retained in the fund to provide for growth over time.

The Witness Endowment is a strategic fund designed to sustain the long-term impact of The Witness Inc.'s activities and programming. This fund ensures a consistent and dependable source of income to support key initiatives, empowering Black Christian leaders and securing operational stability for our organization

Our annual programs, such as The Witness Fellowship, require substantial annual funding. To ensure that transformative programs, like The Witness Fellowship, flourish beyond the uncertainties of traditional grant funding, The Witness Endowment. This proactive approach allows us to raise capital upfront, using the generated interest to supplement annual program funding and reduce dependence on external grants.

The Witness Endowment will play a pivotal role in sustaining programs that nurture Black Christian leadership. It will provide critical funding for the Fellowship and Internship programs, ensuring their continued success and expanding their reach—even during periods when other funding sources may be limited. With the endowment in place, we guarantee the longevity of these initiatives, empowering future leaders to thrive without interruption.

If we meet our goal of raising one million dollars, we will open applications for the fellowship and internship programs in 2025.

Pray with us, share our mission with others, and consider giving a special gift to the Witness Foundation Endowment aside from your annual donations or making a pledge.
