About Renewanation
Renewanation’s recent giving is dominated by scholarship support for Christian schools, with a clear emphasis on children receiving a biblical worldview education. The largest grants in the file go to Covenant School in Charlottesville, including $276,544 in 2023 and $249,596 in 2024, alongside $247,783 in 2025 to Faith Christian School in Roanoke. That pattern places scholarships at the center of the foundation’s work rather than one-off project grants. Grants also reach multiple Virginia schools, including Grace Christian School - Staunton, Smith Mountain Lake Christian Academy, and Roanoke Valley Christian Schools, showing repeated support for a network of institutions rather than a single recipient. The foundation also connects its scholarship work to named programs such as Kansas SGO and Virginia Tax Credit Scholarship, indicating an organized approach to tuition support. Beyond K-12 education, Renewanation’s stated focus areas include family discipleship, church support and training, youth camps and retreats, regenerative farming education through Manderley Farms, and publishing and media for worldview education. Leadership is listed under Jeffery Keaton.
