Jack, Jim, and Tom Conner, three brothers, all who had and still have children enrolled in a private Christian School System in Indianapolis, Indiana, founded the Christian Foundation of Indiana in 1998. Being parents of children in the Christian School System, they are fully aware of the financial sacrifices that teachers make in order to teach in a Christian School setting. Often times Christian School teachers are paid considerably less than teachers at public school institutions, and because of their decision to teach in a Christian School they experience many financial difficulties.

Christian School teachers make these financial sacrifices because of their strong desire to teach and proclaim the love of Christ and His plan of salvation to their students. The Conner brothers found that many parents felt the same thankfulness for Christian School teachers, and who also wanted to assist in their various financial needs. So they set up The Christian Foundation.org, a 501 (C) 3 Foundation where parents who shared this vision could give back to these teachers, and do so on a tax-deductible basis.

In recent years, the Christian Foundation has grown from pure parental involvement to include alumni, teachers, business and community leaders.

The Christian Foundation of Indiana will continue to support Christian education by providing, in conjunction with parents, alumni and the community of these schools, financial and material gifts to Christian School teachers with acute financial needs. The Christian Foundation of Indiana is interested in assisting other Christian Schools so that many other teachers may be benefited and high quality Christian education can be continued without teachers leaving their schools due to financial considerations. If you share our vision to promote Christian education in this manner, please contact us to begin implementation of this program at your school.
