The Maclellan Foundation cannot make grants to individuals, including granting scholarships or giving to missionaries who are raising support.  We only fund non-profit organizations that are tax exempt under 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. 

 

If you are in financial need, there are many places you can turn for help. Here are just a few suggestions:  

Emergencies: If you are a victim of an unexpected catastrophe or unforeseen emergency, immediately seek out a local church or Salvation Army post where you will be treated with respect and encouragement. You should not feel embarrassed about a situation that many others have faced. God knows your need and is able to provide. In fact, one of the church’s proper functions is to serve people in financial need. Introduce yourself to a minister, learn what resources are available, ask for assistance, and accept help in good conscience. Whatever you receive, remember to share with other needy people yourself. Be sure you find a church that believes and teaches the Bible because not all churches have your eternal well-being in mind.  

Debt: If you are crushed under a mountain of debt, here are some practical steps for getting out of debt.  

Financial Advice: If you are looking for financial advice, contact an advisor at Crown Financial Ministries. This ministry founded by Howard Dayton and Larry Burkett offers biblically based advice on various areas of personal/family finance, including budgeting and debt reduction.  

Scholarships: If you are seeking NON-urgent help for college scholarships, medical procedures or other projects, The Foundation Center publishes a directory of 5,600 foundations and public charity programs, including their specific areas of support, to help you in your search.
