Grants

The Daycroft School Foundation makes grants to organizations that have non-profit status in the United States and are educating young people in harmony with the teachings of Christian Science. Most of Daycroft’s grants are for scholarships or camperships, though the Foundation occasionally helps organizations with other needs.

Grants to Camps

There are six Christian Science summer camps in the United States and Canada for Christian Science youth. Daycroft supports them all through grants for camperships. Each summer about 175 campers benefit from Daycroft campership funds.

Grants to Schools

The Foundation supports schools that embrace the teachings of Christian Science. While its primary focus is on providing scholarship funds, the Foundation may occasionally help schools with other needs.

There are fourteen schools around the world that are based on the teachings of Christian Science, including seven in the United States, one in Australia, and one in England. Additionally, Daycroft is in close contact with newly formed schools in the developing world. These schools, also based on the teachings of Christian Science, are experiencing rapid growth and doing heroic work under difficult conditions.

The Foundation extends special financial assistance to the children and grandchildren of former Daycroft students or faculty and staff members who are attending Principia School in St. Louis, Missouri.

Special Projects

Daycroft is always interested in hearing about new programs to support Christian Science youth. Occasionally, the Foundation provides financial support to help launch a new initiative. For example, Daycroft was a steady supporter of DiscoveryBound, a national youth program for Christian Scientists, during the initial stages of that program’s revitalization.
