Jubilee Fund
When crisis hits, no family should carry it alone.
The Jubilee Fund rallies friends, family, and churches around Christian missionaries and church staff facing unexpected financial needs, turning a community's care into real relief.
Why it exists
Why Jubilee Funds Exist
In the book of Acts, the first believers shared life together. They met needs as they arose, so no one among them went without. That was the vision of the early church, and it is still the vision today.
The Jubilee Fund carries that forward, rallying God's people around missionaries and church workers when unexpected needs arise, so the families who serve are never left to carry a crisis alone.
How it works
Three steps from need to relief.
01
A need is brought forward
A missionary or church worker facing an unexpected need, or someone close to them, brings it to Rivergate.
02
Rivergate reviews and approves
Our team reviews every request, confirms the need, and forms a simple agreement before a campaign ever goes live.
03
Support reaches the need
Gifts are collected securely and paid direct-to-provider, so help lands exactly where it's needed.

Not tied to one family? Give to the Jubilee Fund.
A gift to the Jubilee Fund itself goes wherever the next approved need arises, ready the moment a family's crisis is confirmed.

Get started
Bring a need forward.
- 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.
A Jubilee Fund is a fundraising campaign, not a one-time grant. We start a campaign for one specific need, and your community's gifts are collected toward that goal.
