Provide Christ-centered nurture for children and families in need, share the love of Christ with incarcerated youth and adults, and provide programs and experiences for our staff members that foster spiritual and personal growth.
A $6.0 million program-support grant to The Haven Foundation in Canon City anchors New Horizons Ministries Inc’s recent grantmaking and points to a funder that moves at both large and local scales. Alongside that major commitment, the foundation also made a $338,035 transfer of fixed assets to the same Canon City organization in 2023, showing a mix of program support and asset transfer in its giving. The foundation’s stated purpose is to break the cycle of incarceration through spiritual and practical restoration in the name of Jesus, with prison ministry, discipleship, foster care, and community programs all part of that work. Recent grants also connect that mission to local outreach partners such as Skyline Mennonite Church, Loaves & Fishes Ministry of Fremont County, and Safe, all in Canon City. The pattern suggests a community-embedded funder that supports direct service organizations, faith-based ministries, and local nonprofits working with residents, families, and people affected by incarceration. Its latest filing year on record is 2024, and its giving is concentrated in Colorado.
Prison ministry is central to the foundation’s identity, and one of its largest recent grants was $6,650 to Good News Jail & Prison Ministry in Colorado Springs for local outreach. The same focus is visible in a 2023 grant of $6,000 to Good Life Ministries in Catlett, Virginia, for program support. Foster care and family support also appear in the grant record through local outreach to Canon City Pregnancy Center, which received $6,500 in 2024 and $5,500 in 2023. Youth and education-oriented work shows up as well: Canon Christian Academy in Canon City received $12,600 in 2024 and $9,600 in 2023 for local outreach. The foundation also supports church-based community activity, including $21,900 to Skyline Mennonite Church in 2024 for program support.
Typical grants cluster in the low five figures, with a p25 of $6,500, a median of $10,000, and a p75 of $21,000. The distribution also includes one very large outlier, with a multimillion-dollar award to The Haven Foundation, plus a substantial fixed-asset transfer to the same recipient in the prior year. Grants appear in consecutive years for several recipients, including Skyline Mennonite Church, Life Network, Safe, Pueblo Cooperative Care, Living Stone Calvary Chapel, and Canon City Pregnancy Center, suggesting recurring support rather than one-off gifts. The foundation is not a funder of individuals and does not make program-related investments.
