The Mustard Seed Foundation
The Mustard Seed Foundation is a Christian family foundation established in 1983 under the leadership of Dennis W. Bakke and Eileen Harvey Bakke. The Foundation was created as an expression of the Bakke's desire to be faithful stewards of the financial resources entrusted to them, to bring together the members of their extended families into common ministry, and to advance the Kingdom of God. The Foundation provides grants primarily to churches worldwide that are undertaking new ministry projects including outreach, discipleship, and economic empowerment. The Foundation also awards scholarships to Christians pursuing advanced educational degrees in preparation for leadership roles in society. The Foundation affirms the Lausanne Covenant as its missional commitment to the world. All directors and staff of the Mustard Seed Foundation are committed followers of Jesus Christ.
