It is our mission to create disciples and provide essential resources to Empower those around us.
Why We Invest
Matthew 28:19-20
In simplest terms, we invest because we are called to make followers of Christ, knowing that in this journey Christ is with us.
Our Vision
Our Values
The Sayre Foundation envisions work that is grounded and guided by the following values
Creating Disciples
We work to be a bridge for those who have not made Jesus their Lord and Savior. Our work is “mission minded” always looking for an opportunity to share the truth of the Good News with those we serve and to lead them to a Christ-filled life.
Providing Financial Support
Everything we have belongs to the Lord. The Sayre Foundation exists to support and empower others to fulfill the Great Commission. This fulfillment can be achieved through the form of a grant, scholarship, sponsorship, or our usage of event centers.
Engaging In Service
Because we value service, the Sayre Foundation pursues a hands-on approach to meet the needs of our community.
Our Process
In our role as a funder, our process focuses on two objectives
Objective One:
To empower you to fulfill the Great Commission.
We serve many by letting our resources support their mission.
“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
2 Corinthians 9:7
Objective Two:
To have direct involvement in using our resources to fulfill the Great Commission.
The story of Jesus washing His disciples’ feet demonstrates a clear call to serve those in need wherever they are found. After leading by example, Jesus said, “I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you,” (John 13:15) The Sayre Foundation seeks to follow this command by serving our neighbor.
Our Approach
Our selected work is based on vital components
Kingdom Focused
We strive to align all our work to prioritize the Good News of the gospel and the spreading of Jesus Christ’s love for humanity. This shapes our actions, decisions, and partnerships, ensuring that our efforts not only meet physical needs but also cultivate spiritual growth and transformation.
Stewardship Minded
We are committed to managing our resources with wisdom and integrity. We carefully evaluate the organizations and initiatives we support, ensuring that each partnership aligns with our mission and demonstrates accountability. We have established a board comprised of dedicated individuals who carefully review programs seeking assistance
Relevance and Responsiveness
We understand the work is not always planned; when an urgent or unexpected need arises, we strive to respond to the most critical of these as swiftly as possible.
Respecting Individual Dignity
We acknowledge and uphold the dignity of all people and recognize that each individual is made in the image of God.
listening to our grantees
We value the insights of our grantees, partners, and the communities they serve. We explore new approaches and adapt based on the real-time challenges observed within these communities.
