Kingdom Causes, Inc. (KCI) is a nonprofit organization that partners with existing entities to address complex social issues through prevention, intervention, and restoration. Through collaborative leadership, we help these partnerships achieve better results than otherwise would have been possible. We develop resources and funding, facilitate partnerships, and strategize together for the maximization of positive impact in our communities.
Kingdom Causes Inc City Net Bedrock Creek centers its grantmaking on anti-human trafficking work, especially prevention, early intervention, and survivor support in Santa Barbara County and Santa Barbara City. The foundation also uses collaborative funding models, including a countywide community fund and a multi-year cohort designed to strengthen participating organizations through grant writing, fund development coaching, and administration. In 2025, its recent grants include support for Cherished High Desert Inc in Lancaster, Qualified in Los Angeles, Treasures Ministries in Sherman Oaks, and Forgotten Children Inc in Long Beach, along with a university-based fellowship tied to commercial sexual exploitation planning at the University of California Santa Barbara. That mix shows a funder that backs both direct service organizations and coordination efforts. The University of California Santa Barbara grant also points to a specific interest in student involvement and planning work connected to exploitation prevention. Across these examples, the foundation’s giving is shaped by partnership, capacity building, and targeted anti-trafficking action rather than a single-service grant model.
Anti-human trafficking is the clearest throughline. Kingdom Causes Inc City Net Bedrock Creek gave $34,088 to Cherished High Desert Inc to support the grantee organization’s goals, and $21,150 to Forgotten Children Inc for the same purpose, both through 2025 grants to California organizations. The foundation also supported Treasures Ministries with $21,300, again marked as support for the organization’s goals. Beyond direct service, it funds coordination and leadership work. Its Santa Barbara Catalytic Project — Undergraduate Fellowship Program at the University of California Santa Barbara is tied to a city-specific 3-year action plan addressing commercial sexual exploitation. The foundation also operates the SAFE Santa Barbara County Fund, which allocates donor-supported resources to vetted organizations carrying out county Human Trafficking Task Force Strategic Plan goals.
The recent grants show a narrow spread in size, with the top five awards ranging from $21,150 to $34,088. The foundation appears to use both one-off organizational support and structured multi-year collaboration: the Elevate Ministries Collaborative Project is described as a multi-year cohort running from 2021 to 2024, with $5,000 grants and capacity-building support built into the model. Kingdom Causes Inc City Net Bedrock Creek is a public charity, not a private foundation, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The recent data shows a 100% U.S. recipient mix.

Recent grants land entirely in the United States, with California recipients in Lancaster, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Sherman Oaks, and Long Beach. Santa Barbara County is especially prominent in the foundation’s program descriptions, including the SAFE Santa Barbara County Fund and the Santa Barbara Catalytic Project. The recipient list also reaches beyond that county into other parts of Southern California, showing a broader California footprint even while the foundation’s named collaborative and community-fund work is anchored in Santa Barbara.
The foundation supports anti-human trafficking prevention, early intervention, and survivor services, along with capacity building and community coordination. Its program descriptions also include neighborhood revitalization, youth engagement, and nonprofit grant development, but the clearest pattern in the recent grants is trafficking-related and collaborative work.
Yes. One active program, the Elevate Ministries Collaborative Project, is described as a multi-year cohort that brought together four anti-human trafficking organizations for grant writing, fund development coaching, administration, and unrestricted grants. That makes capacity building a visible part of its giving model.
The top five recent grants range from $21,150 to $34,088, with the largest listed award at $34,088. A separate collaborative program shows $5,000 grants, which indicates the foundation uses both mid-sized organizational support and smaller cohort-based grants.
Its named programs are centered on Santa Barbara County and Santa Barbara City, but the recent grants also go to Lancaster, Los Angeles, Sherman Oaks, and Long Beach. The recipient-country distribution is entirely U.S.-based.
No. The foundation profile identifies it as not funding individuals, and the recent grant list shows organizational and institutional recipients such as nonprofits and the University of California Santa Barbara.
