The Idlewild Foundation exists to serve our Lord Jesus through the promotion of Godly stewardship and greater generosity. Stewardship can be a challenge in creativity – finding new and better ways to do what is best for God’s kingdom on a limited budget. As a part of that, we also enjoy serving those who love Him. Thanks to you and your generosity a lot happens, including:
- Support for more than 50 foster families caring for more than 80 foster children. Your giving helps in a wide variety of ways including counseling and therapy, connecting them with caring people who can help, recreational support, and assisting with financial support. For more details and to find out how you can be a part of this either as a donor, a volunteer or a foster parent, click here.
- Free estate planning to widows and widowers who are members of Idlewild Baptist Church.
- An undergraduate college, vocational, and technical school scholarship program for active Idlewild members with a financial need. This service is the fulfillment of the dream of a generous couple who had a dream to help others. Click here to go to our scholarship page for more details.
- Financial assistance for persons seeking to adopt.
- Christ-focused donor advised funds are available as is counseling to donors as to the advantages and operation of such funds.
- Help and support for the widow ministry of Idlewild Baptist Church.
