PROJECT
FUNDING

Funding Categories

There are four categories of project funding to be processed through Prado Group and its subcommittees.  Initially, special emphasis will be placed on projects that involve consumables and commodities.

 

The four (4) categories for funding are as follows:

1.  Global Mission Evangelism

Evangelistic Crusades: Ministry teams must show their competency by past experiences with verification of their “fruits of harvest” (souls), social impact, or spiritual impact.  One’s ministry gifts must be proven, or if not, partnered with those who
have successfully done such ministry.

​

  • Mission Projects and/or Pastoral and Leadership Training

  • Support/Mercy Teams: Administrators, nurses, teachers, relief workers, etc.

  • Groups who address the systemic issues that cause spiritual and economic poverty
     

Prado Group has found no historical evidence to refute the fact that the Jewish apostles of Yahushua ha'Mashiach (Joshua the Messiah; Jesus Christ; Christo Iesu) were the first authorized to preach and establish the Gospel of the Kingdom for both Jews and Gentiles.  They laid the foundation for the ONLY church of Yahushua ha'Mashiach.  Christ is, has been, and always will be the head of His church and Savior of His body.  Biblical, historical and current experiential evidence supports the fact that only the gospel of the kingdom [as preached by the apostles of Yahushua ha'Mashiach] can unshackle the spiritual vices that enslave the minds, bodies, and spirits of men.

​

​

Preferred Opportunities for Global Missions Impact

​

Required:  All foundations, not-for-profits, tax-exempt, tax-excepted, and other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) must be centered on social humanitarian provision, having a clearly defined statement of faith.  In other words, they must be socially redeemable with well-defined missions and have a core economic impact.  All must clearly demonstrate impact in qualitative non-financial terms.

 

The size and nature of Category 1 funding in most instances will require a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) Analysis.  The SWOT analysis is necessary primarily because the funding will generally be less than $50,000 USD. 
On the other hand, funding for Categories 2, 3, and 4 will be in the millions of dollars.
