Mutually crossing cultural and economic boundaries
Focusing on Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East
Supporting holistic, community based projects that incorporate evangelism
Striving to use the highest quality project research and outcome evaluation available
Providing a spiritually-enriching, thoughtful and satisfying giving experience for our donors.

Agia learned how to read and write at the Ras El Sonda Community Development Center. These skills have helped her in running her baking business.

Our Vision

Through the love of Jesus Christ, ARDF strives to connect those who can provide with those who need through a holistic, high impact, and proven community development approach so that believers are strengthened and encouraged, lives are rescued and made whole, and Christ is glorified.

Our Values

Life Change

The world is full of charitable organizations which work to meet the needs of the less fortunate throughout the world, and many of them do. But the question is do they do it efficiently, providing the greatest life changing impact per dollar donated and showing the results to you the donors?

Measurable Results

The Anglican Relief and Development Fund (ARDF) answers the above question with a resounding “Yes” and that is what separates ARDF from other funds. We don’t support large international projects with results that can’t be measured. Instead we search out local ventures in the Global South with high impact results that provide permanent life changes. Read more…

Objectivity

Our standards for project funding are kept objective due largely to our partnership with independent philanthropic research service firms, who analyze each project expenditure with an investment mindset.

Local Knowledge = Sustained Impact

ARDF’s unique personal connection with many dioceses and their leaders in the Global South allows us to discover, evaluate and fund projects which can target specific people and problems, not broad segments and ideas. The result is that lives are dramatically improved for the long term. ARDF doesn’t provide just food for sustenance; we supply boats for fishing in the Tsunami hit areas and sponsor education for villages in farming in Africa so lifestyles and standards of living are dramatically altered.
