2025 Grant Awards Program

An Important Message from
Kathy Saigeon, CFA Executive Director

The CFA “Cultivating Generosity” Annual Grants Program has experienced 10 wonderful years of supporting Christian ministry organizations like yours. As we look to the future, we’ve made the decision to pause the Grants Program for the 2025–26 year. This means there will be no call for applications this coming September.

We want to sincerely thank you for your past interest and participation—it has made a remarkable impact on Christian ministries across our local communities.

We are hopeful the program will resume for the 2026–27 grant cycle, and we will share updates with you in the summer of 2026.

Thank you again for being a valued part of this important mission.

We believe in the power of Christians joining together to inspire change in our local communities. For over a decade, we have supported vibrant ministries in Ventura and Los Angeles counties with a celebration event every spring.
