Our Story

Above & Beyond began in 2011 as a local church missions fund, modeled after university endowment funds. Our goal was to financially assist individuals who felt called to the mission field and to provide a fund that would assist those called in the future. In 2013, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Above & Beyond shifted to an inter-denominational foundation to mobilize multiple generations to fulfill the Great Commission.

Awards for Short-Term Mission Trips

Today, our innovative grant program helps people throughout the Body of Christ, get to the mission field immediately, while our fund structure helps givers multiply their global impact for years to come.

The Fund

Traditional giving to missions is typically a single gift to one person for a specific mission trip

Mission Giving

By contrast, a gift to Above & Beyond supports multiple missionaries immediately and tomorrow’s missionaries for generations to come!
