Advancing God’s Mission Together
Grants fuel the mission of Northeastern Seminary, equipping women and men to engage in God’s redemptive work in the world.
Through the generosity of grant partners, we’re able to expand programs, provide resources, and reach communities in ways that would not be possible otherwise. These investments make our shared calling a reality.
About Lilly Endowment Inc.
Lilly Endowment Inc. is the primary grant partner supporting Northeastern Seminary’s mission and ministry.
Lilly Endowment Inc. is a private foundation created in 1937 by J.K. Lilly Sr. and his sons Eli and J.K. Jr. through gifts of stock in their pharmaceutical business, Eli Lilly and Company.
A principal aim of the Endowment’s religion grantmaking is to deepen and enrich the lives of Christians in the United States, primarily by seeking out and supporting efforts that enhance the vitality of congregations and strengthen the pastoral and lay leadership of Christian communities. The Endowment also seeks to improve public understanding of diverse religious traditions by supporting fair and accurate portrayals of the role religion plays in the United States and across the globe.
Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.
