Announcing the Abraham Kuyper Christian Leadership Fund

Thanks to the generous estate gift from the Rimmer and Ruth De Vries family, the Abraham Kuyper Christian Leadership Fund has been established at Barnabas Foundation to advance the Reformed world and life view as taught and lived by Abraham Kuyper.

Grants from the fund will be awarded to support one or more of the following activities that further the Reformed world and life view:

• The translation and dissemination of Abraham Kuyper’s works
• The development of tools and resources for use in expanding scholarship on Kuyper and applications of the Reformed world and life view to contemporary challenges
• Hosting of conferences and/or working groups that engage students and thought leaders around the world
• Support for Christian leadership development in under-resourced areas of the world
• Residential fellowships for advanced graduate study for students in doctoral programs, focused on Kuyper’s works or neo-Calvinism, in amounts not to exceed one-third of the student’s total educational costs
• Other new initiatives that will expand Kuyper’s influence on Christian leadership around the world
• Special consideration will be given to projects that are matched by other gifts or that will serve as a catalyst for significant additional growth or impact on Christian thought and leadership

Christian universities, seminaries and other non-profit organizations with a distinctly reformed theological perspective are eligible to receive grants.

Grant application deadlines are March 31 and August 31 of each year with grants awarded by June 30 and December 31, respectively. Grant requests will be considered in amounts from $10,000 to $100,000 and can be made for one year (or up to 3 years of recurring grants).
