NFCSN is:

  • A gathering place for organizations, churches, and individuals to contribute to a benevolent fund that supports the greater availability of Christian Science nursing.
  • A fund for individuals seeking financial help for their Christian Science nursing care and related Christian Science practitioner treatments.
  • A resource that will reduce instances of Christian Scientists going without Christian Science nursing due to a lack of funds.

In February 2014, The Mother Church hosted a meeting to discuss the sustainability of Christian Science nursing and ask questions about how to best support the simplicity of Christian healing. As a result of this meeting, The Mother Church appointed two committees: 1. The sustainability of Christian Science nursing committee and 2. The financial sustainability of Christian Science nursing committee. Additionally, in a follow-up conversation to this meeting, a collaborative donor group, called the Donor Forum, assembled to work on models for financial sustainability.

Eventually The Mother Church’s Financial Sustainability committee and the Donor Forum merged to form the Philanthropy Forum. Its mission was “to provide a community where donors unite and explore together how to promote the inspired ministry of Christian Science nursing in its ever expansive outreach to humanity.” When the Philanthropy Forum met in January 2016, they agreed to support the launch of a national benevolence fund for Christian Science nursing.

The Fund Working Group was a committee appointed by the Philanthropy Forum to work out the details of the National Fund launch beginning in January 2016. Several different models were proposed and legal and financial advice was sought and considered. After an examination of various models, the Working Group decided that it was best to launch the National Fund within an already established and active nonprofit benevolence organization. The Fund Working Group voted unanimously to ask the Principle Foundation to administer the National Fund, and the Foundation whole-heartedly accepted. In June, all responsibility for launching the National Fund was transferred to The Principle Foundation.
