The Foundation for Evangelism

Directions Website

The Foundation for Evangelism The Foundation for Evangelism is a CATALYST to equip disciples to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.

The Foundation for Evangelism is a Wesleyan-tradition grant-making organization located at Lake Junaluska, North Carolina. Chartered in 1949 by Dr. Harry Denman, then the General Secretary of the Board of Evangelism of the Methodist Church, and a group a visionary laymen, it was designed to “diffuse the blessing of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Today, we carry out that vision by providing grants that can be a catalyst to equip disciples to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. We focus our grant-making in three specific areas: Raising Up Gospel Leaders, Engaging the Ministry of the Laity, and Equipping the Local Church. Periodically, the Foundation for Evangelism conducts grant cycles for specific focus areas. These cycles are announced on social media and via website and print media.
