Building a
Giving Tree for God’s Kingdom

The FirstFruits 1:17 Foundation exists to steward God’s resources with bold generosity, disciplined wisdom, and eternal purpose.

Our calling is simple: create meaningful impact today while building a long-term endowment that can continue serving God’s kingdom for generations.

Our Mission

Steward God’s resources
to do His will.

Our Vision

Build a $1 billion endowment
model foundation for
kingdom impact.

Our Model

Immediate giving + long-term
endowment growth.

Why
FirstFruits 1:17

Isaiah 1:17 calls God’s people to:

“Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.”

Firstfruits remind us to offer God our first and best. Isaiah 1:17 reminds us why: so that our blessings can become a source of hope, justice, and compassion for others. Together, they reflect our commitment to steward God’s gifts in ways that transform lives and strengthen communities.

FirstFruits 117 Foundation supports trusted organizations serving vulnerable children, rescuing the exploited, caring for orphans and widows, and advancing the Gospel.

We do not try to build every program ourselves. We seek to identify, support, and strengthen faithful partners already doing effective kingdom work.

The FirstFruit 1:17 Giving Model

Fruit today. Faithfulness tomorrow.

The foundation is built around a simple stewardship model:

A portion of each gift is directed toward immediate impact.

This helps meet urgent needs now through trusted ministry partners.

The remaining portion helps grow the endowment.

This allows generosity to keep bearing fruit year after year.

Our current model is designed around approximately one-third for immediate giving and two-thirds for long-term endowment growth—creating impact now while building future capacity for kingdom work.

The founder described this same immediate-and-long-term structure in the interview.

Causes We Support

Serving the vulnerable. Advancing the Gospel.

Feeding
Starving Children

Supporting trusted partners who provide meals, nourishment, and care for vulnerable children.

Rescuing Children
from Sex Trafficking

Funding organizations working to rescue, protect, and restore children from exploitation.

Caring for Orphans
& Widows

Strengthening ministries that defend and care for those Scripture repeatedly calls us to remember.

Advancing
the Gospel

Supporting kingdom work that helps people encounter the love, truth, and salvation of Jesus Christ.

The Long-Term Vision

The vision is bold: to build a $1 billion endowment whose income can help fund kingdom work at scale.

At full vision, the foundation could help support millions of meals, thousands of rescues, care for orphans and widows, and widespread Gospel advancement through trusted partners. The presentation outlines this long-term ambition as a $1 billion endowment with annual giving capacity for meals, rescue work, orphan and widow care, and evangelism.

The numbers are significant, but the posture is humble.

We are not trying to build something impressive for ourselves.

We are trying to steward what belongs to God.

Our Goal:

$1 billion
