What IS the Daniel Foundaton?
Welcome to the Daniel Foundation, a public 501c3 non profit charity
rooted in the Christian tradition, that emphasizes spiritual &
community restoration and renewal. The Daniel Foundation believes
that spiritual renewal & restoration require patient, persistent
and gentle cultivation. We also believe that improving the quality
of life for persons of every faith is an indispensable expression
of the divine determination to, in the words of the Psalmist,
'make all things new.'
Why 'Daniel?'
The Old Testament book of Daniel bears witness to a remarkable
series of events that, through the faithfulness of a few, elevated
the trajectory of an entire nation. The 'Daniel' Foundation, therefore,
is a fitting name for any initiative designed to faithfully serve
others and better the community in which they reside.
