Our initiatives
Three needs. One mission.
Christian missionaries and church staff carry costs most families never see: a sudden crisis, a child's tuition, a retirement no one planned for. Rivergate Foundation meets each one with its own fund.
01 · Urgent need
The Jubilee Fund
Community-powered relief when a family faces an urgent financial need, such as medical costs, vehicle failure, or other urgent one-time needs. The need is brought forward, Rivergate reviews it, and together, gifts are paid directly to the need.
- Who
- Someone on a church's staff: full-time, part-time, or bivocational
- Where
- U.S.-based needs only. The need, how it is met, and who is paid must all be in the United States.
02 · Education
The Scholars Fund
Scholarships for the children of missionaries and church staff pursuing undergraduate or trade school education, so a family's calling never costs a child their education.
- Paid to
- The accredited institution, directly
- Who
- Families of Antioch Movement workers today. Applications open in the spring of each year.
03 · Stability
Retirement Preparedness
Many long-term workers reach their later years without adequate retirement savings, Social Security coverage, or access to a 401(k). This early-stage initiative helps ministry families prepare, so a lifetime of faithful service is met with a secure future.
- Who
- Starting within the Antioch Movement, with future expansion under evaluation
How it's funded
Built to last beyond any one gift.
Rivergate Enterprises and the Jubilee Fund's sustainability margin cover the Foundation's operating costs, so 100% of Strategic Partner gifts go to scholarships, retirement preparedness, and Endowment growth. The Endowment is a permanent base whose returns fund this work year after year.
