Our Guiding Principles
Officially recognized by the IRS in 1974, the articles of incorporation established the guiding principles of our organization as assisting recognized 501c3 charitable organizations across the Ozarks that focus on four basic principles:
Aiding the Poor
Christian Associates is focusing our resources on targeting the root causes of poverty and creating real and lasting solutions that will eradicate poverty as we know it today. Our hope is that by creating an innovative solution that stops poverty, homelessness in communities nearby and nationwide will no longer be a burden on local governments, business and a host of nonprofit organizations across America.
Working with Youth
Partnering and collaborating with youth programs that teach and instill traditional family values, promotes patriotism and focuses on Christianity are the goals of this focus of our Foundation.
Advancing Religion
Encouraging religious practice and promoting and strengthening faith in communities across the Ozarks and America.
Meeting Emerging Community Needs
Christian Associates Foundation is always looking for organizations that create solutions that address emerging community needs. This could be anything from establishing a local health department to creating a job center to help get American’s back to work. These are the principles that Christian Associates was founded on and will continue to do for our community for generations to come.
