Kairos Benevolence Fund โ Organization Profile
The Kairos Benevolence Fund (KBF) is a nonprofit ministry created to provide benevolent grants for aging Christian Church ministers and missionaries facing specific health or financial crises. KBF frames its purpose around honoring long-term โkingdom servantsโ who served faithfully but now find themselves without the resources to meet urgent needs. The organization invites churches and individual donors to participate by funding grants and helping create a culture of โhonor, appreciation, and loveโ for ministry colleagues.
KBFโs work is focused on identifying qualified ministry workers in hardship and providing targeted assistance when a crisis emergesโoften related to medical bills, housing instability, unexpected emergencies, or other acute financial burdens. While needs vary case by case, the common thread is that grants are intended to meet a specific hardship rather than function as broad, ongoing support. KBF also regularly shares recipient stories to help donors understand the types of crises being addressed and how gifts translate into tangible relief.
Operationally, KBF describes a grant process with three main components: raising awareness of the need, evaluating grant applications, and distributing funds to meet approved needs. Grant decisions and disbursements are overseen by the board and a grant distribution team, and KBF notes that experienced ministry, missionary, and business professionals located across the United States help evaluate applications. KBF also communicates that gifts designated for a particular project are generally honored, while also noting that if a specific project is overfunded, excess gifts may be redirected to other approved projects or ministry operations.
KBF provides multiple pathways for someone to seek help or connect others to help. Individuals can apply for assistance through KBFโs application process, and supporters can also submit a referral (including an option to request anonymity). In those cases, KBF indicates the referred person will be contacted and invited to complete an application so the situation can be evaluated consistently and confidentially.
Supporters can engage through giving in several ways, including online donations, mailing a check, and certain non-cash gifts. KBF also lists a giving option through Zelle tied to a ministry email address used for donations. Beyond financial support, churches and individuals can participate by sharing needs, referring ministry colleagues, and staying connected to current projects and stories that highlight where assistance is needed most.
KBFโs leadership includes a board of directors and an executive staff team. The board is chaired by Shawn McMullen, with Cindy Willison serving as vice chair, alongside additional board members with backgrounds in local church ministry, missions, and nonprofit leadership. The organizationโs executive leadership lists David Pace as founder and CEO, with operations, finance, and events roles supporting the day-to-day work of coordinating applications, donor relationships, and grant distribution.
