A few of the Grantees NEMF is funding:
The spiritual landscape of New England is incredibly tough soil. What once was a hotbed for revival and Kingdom innovation is now largely secular and desperately in need of Christ.
We believe God is still working in New England. We started NEMF to help find and fund Kingdom minded churches, ministries, and nonprofits that will reshape the spiritual landscape.
