To promote quality and excellence in ministry by teaching Biblical stewardship and building ministry endowments that provide permanent financial assistance for Christian schools, colleges, camps, and other ministries.
A scholarship grant of $415,900 to Maranatha Baptist University is the clearest window into Eternal Vision Inc.'s work: the foundation directs major support toward Christian education and ministry training, often through restricted funds tied to tuition, student aid, and long-term endowments. Its stated purpose is to promote quality and excellence in ministry by teaching Biblical stewardship and building ministry endowments that provide permanent financial assistance for Christian schools, colleges, camps, and other ministries. That pattern shows up in both large institutional gifts and smaller program-specific awards. The foundation gave $142,000 to Maranatha Baptist University in the prior year, and it also supported Heritage Baptist Coalition with a $100,000 grant for religious programs. Other recent grants include support for Christian schools, churches, camps, and college-based training programs, which fits its emphasis on strengthening the financial base of faith-based ministries rather than funding one-off projects alone. Eternal Vision Inc. uses several named grant programs to do that work, including endowment-building efforts, scholarship funds, and benevolent assistance funds. The mix points to a funder focused on Christian institutions, student support, and ministry sustainability through planned giving and restricted program support.
Christian education is central to the foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $67,500 to Lakewood Baptist Church for religious programs, while separate programs support Christian schools and colleges through tuition assistance, scholarships, and endowment-building. Student aid is another clear theme. Eternal Vision Inc. awarded $6,000 to Ambassador Baptist College in 2023 and $5,250 in 2024, both for student assistance. Its scholarship programs are aimed at students attending Christian schools and colleges, especially those preparing for ministry leadership. The foundation also funds ministry infrastructure. A $12,000 grant to Camp Chetek for religious programs aligns with its support for Christian camps and other ministries that serve youth and families. Beyond direct grants, its Vision Endowment programs are designed to create perpetual revenue streams for schools, with attention to teacher compensation and tuition assistance.
