The Crowell Trust was established in 1927 by Henry Parsons Crowell, founder of The Quaker Oats Company, and is dedicated to the teaching and active extension of the doctrines of Evangelical Christianity through approved grants to qualified organizations.  While much has changed in our world in the last eighty years, the trustees of The Crowell Trust remain committed to following the specific guidelines established by Mr. Crowell for our grant-making activities.

 Mr. Crowell's statement of beliefs along with the Lausanne Movement's Capetown Commitment help to formulate four priorities with which to further inform giving.

  1.      The unreached, biblically illiterate, highest need and least resourced areas and populations of the world:  The regions of the world, and specific people groups, who do not have a Christian evangelical presence, nor access to resources which encourage wholeness, and whose populations are at risk due to poverty of body, mind, and spirit.  The trust seeks to encourage and enhance evangelism and church planting among indigenous and cross cultural populations.

 

2.     Holistic Gospel Expressions:  The demonstration of Christ's love to the world through the integration of mercy and truth; delivering human resources and spiritual care.  

 

3.      Key Influencers:  The training, equipping and discipling of leaders worldwide.  Discipleship, leadership development and Christian education support this priority.

 

4.      Care for the Oppressed, especially women, needing care, protection and enablement:  Outreach and support of vulnerable people, especially women, protecting them from abuse and unfair treatment, and enabling them to develop into the people God created them to be.
