Strategic Partners
A few generous partners can carry a whole network.
The Strategic Partners are a community of major givers who stand behind the entire work of Rivergate Foundation: urgent needs met the moment they arise, students educated, and families equipped for a lifetime of ministry.
Who we serve
The families behind the mission.
We serve Christian missionaries and church staff in the Antioch network: people who have given their lives to the work of the mission, often on modest salaries and far from the safety nets most households rely on.
When a child is ready for college, or a lifetime of service nears retirement, these families should never have to choose between their calling and their family's stability. Your partnership is how that choice is taken off the table.
The model
100%
of every partner gift funds scholarships, retirement preparedness, and Endowment growth.
Two sources cover the Foundation's operating costs, so partner gifts never have to.
Rivergate Enterprises
A separate for-profit entity whose support funds the Foundation's operations.
The Jubilee Sustainability Margin
A small 3% margin built into each Jubilee Fund campaign.
Why an endowment
Giving that outlasts any one gift.
An endowment is the difference between responding when we can and always being ready. It is a permanent base, invested and stewarded, whose returns fund the work year after year regardless of any single fundraising season.
What it enables is simple: a promise kept. The assurance that when a family in the network faces a crisis, the resources already exist to come alongside them. Partners who give toward stability are building that assurance for everyone who comes after.
