Creation Development Foundation Inc.

Overview

Creation Development Foundation Inc. is a US nonprofit organization with a mission to develop and fund Christian-based education focusing on whole-child health. The organization leverages the CREATION Health model to create projects that enhance family life, foster community growth, and promote holistic development of children in mind, body, and spirit.

History

The Creation Development Foundation was founded with a vision to create a leading center for health and education inspired by Luke 2:52, which emphasizes growing children in "wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." This vision began to take shape in 2008 and has since evolved into a comprehensive educational program.

Programs

The foundation's educational initiatives include the Creation Health Education Campus, a multi-phase project that started with the Phase I opening of Creation Village Early Childhood in 2013. As of recent updates, they serve over 350 families and are expanding their facilities to include more educational phases, such as the development of a preparatory school.

Mission and Values

The organization's mission is centered around empowering children for life success by promoting lifestyles of health and well-being based on Christian principles. Their core values include:

• Honor God: By supporting projects that are both excellent and profitable.
• Serve Others: Through education and empowerment of families for healthy living.
• Create Legacy: By inspiring donors to support projects that foster lasting love and growth in children.

Financials

In recent years, the organization has reported revenues and expenses of several million dollars. As per available records, their revenue has been around $4.04 million, with expenses of approximately $3.93 million. They manage total assets of about $8.1 million and liabilities around $2.31 million[3].

Impact

By investing in high-quality early childhood education, the Creation Development Foundation aligns with research that suggests such investments yield significant returns in better education, health, and economic outcomes. This aligns with Nobel Laureate Professor James Heckman's findings that every dollar invested in early childhood education produces a substantial annual return[2].
