About Dr John Hefferlin and Marian Hefferlin Foundation
A defining feature of the Dr John Hefferlin And Marian Hefferlin Foundation is its repeated support for Science of Mind and Centers for Spiritual Living organizations, including a $25,000 education grant to the Science of Mind Archives Library Fund in Lees Summit, Missouri. Across recent awards, the foundation has backed archives, church operations, media production, and educational programming tied to that movement.
Its giving includes reserve support for Centers for Spiritual Living in Golden, Colorado, as well as grants to help maintain camp and ministry infrastructure. The pattern is not limited to one type of recipient: the foundation has funded regional centers, a spiritual camp, a leadership school, and archive-related entities. Several of these organizations appear more than once across the recent grants list, which points to continuing relationships rather than isolated gifts.
The foundation’s grantmaking also reaches beyond one location, with recipients in California, Colorado, Oregon, Missouri, Florida, Ohio, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Alberta, and international CSL-linked settings. Within that network, the foundation appears to favor practical support for organizations that teach, preserve, communicate, or administer Science of Mind work.
What Dr John Hefferlin and Marian Hefferlin Foundation Funds
Science of Mind archival work is one clear priority. The foundation gave $25,000 to the Science of Mind Archives Library Fund in Lees Summit, Missouri, and also awarded $6,862 to the Science of Mind Archives Library Fund in Golden, Colorado, both tied to the movement’s preservation and educational needs.
Media support is another recurring theme. Grants went to Centers for Spiritual Living Denver for a Media Grant, to Center for Spiritual Living Palm Springs for a Media Grant, and to Portland Center for Spiritual Living for a Media Grant, showing support for communications capacity across multiple centers.
The foundation also funds ministerial training and education. It gave $7,500 to Mile Hi Church for an Education Grant and $5,925 to School of Spiritual Leadership Florida for an Education Grant. Camp and youth-related support appears through Camp Cedar Ridge in Vernonia, Oregon, which received a church grant.
