New Beginnings Christian Church directs its philanthropy to faith-based ministries and community programs with a strong emphasis on youth and recovery services. Grants predominantly support Christian missions, prison ministry, addiction recovery programs, and local youth-serving organizations in the Northeast Kingdom/region. Many gifts are modest-to-mid sized donations to program-driven groups rather than capital or institutional endowments.
New Beginnings Christian Church Inc. gives repeated support to faith-based ministries and youth-serving programs, with most recent grants clustering at a uniform $20,738 level. In the latest grants list, that pattern reaches organizations tied to Christian prison ministry, recovery, education, and regional youth work, including Church at prison, Teen Challange, and NEKPCS Futures. The foundation’s giving also extends beyond Vermont through a $20,738 grant to Dominican Advance in Tucson, showing that its mission-oriented support is not limited to one neighborhood even though its grantmaking is overwhelmingly local. The mix of recipients points to a funder that backs program activity rather than facilities or endowments, with donations flowing to ministries, academies, and community groups that serve children, teens, and adults involved in discipleship or reentry work. Several of the largest awards recur across the recent-grants list at the same amount, suggesting a consistent grantmaking approach across aligned organizations.
Christian ministry is central to the foundation’s giving. It awarded $20,738 to Church at prison for a donation, and also supported Target Ministeries at the same level, both tied to faith-based service. Recovery and discipleship are another visible thread: Teen Challange received $20,738, placing addiction recovery and faith formation alongside prison ministry in the funding pattern. Youth development is another recurring area. The foundation gave $20,738 to Connect with Kids for a donation, and also backed NEKPCS Futures, which appears twice in the recent list at $20,738 and $8,906. Education-oriented support shows up in grants to Elevation Academy and Covered Bridge, each at $20,738, indicating attention to Christian education and programs for at-risk youth.
The recent grants cluster tightly around a median of $20,738, with the 25th percentile at $11,406 and the 75th percentile also at $20,738. That tells a researcher that many awards sit at the same standard level, with a smaller set of lower-dollar gifts. The 2025 list also shows repeat support to the same recipients, including NEKPCS Futures, Connect with Kids, and Covered Bridge, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time gifts. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The available records show donation-style grants rather than a separate application-based program.
