The Foundation Grants In 2008 approved through April 2008:

• Dr. Job's Mission To The Persecuted Chuch.  Approved $1500 per year for five years representing the income from a couple's gift to The Foundation.  This ministry looks after widows and children of martyred and persecuted Christians at the Michael Job Centre in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. 
• Angel Tree Camping At Sky Ranch.  Continued its pledge of $50,000 per year supporting a Christian camp experience for p;risoners' children at the Ranch in Van, TX.  These funds derive from earnings on the non-designated corpus of The Foundation.  One additional year remains in the current commitment.
• The Goodland Academy.  Pledged $25,000 for this Christian home and school which provides care and education for disadvantaged and neglected youth.  This grant, to be provided from the earnings on undesginated corpus of The Foundation, will provide asistance to this Hugo, OK Academy in its planned purchase of playground equipment. 
• Camp Gilmont.  Approved $10,000 toward its Capital Campaign Fund toward building a conference center for this Christian camp which serves 3,500 campers per year.  During the years ahead, with the completion of the conference center, the Camp expects to serve even larger numbers.  HPPC has enjoyed a long invovlement with this Camp.
• The Imbikani Girls School.  Approved $1500 per year for five years for this school operated by The Presbyterian Church of East Africa.  Sky Ranch has a working relationship with the School and provided a "Sky Kenya" camping experience for Massai children in the area.  The Foundation funds will be used to provide support for school construction of dormitories over the next two years.  97 girls presently attend the school with expansion plans to accommodate 320.

To assure responsible use of funds granted to Christian causes, The Foundation's Gifts Adminstration Committee requires all recipients to provide timely reports on progress and use of the monies.  The Foundation in its approval process in support of Christian opportunities, concentrates on three principle areas including (1) Evangelizing and making disciples of Jesus Christ; (2) Embracing the needs of our neighbor; (3) Providing enrichment through Christian Education throughout life.

Financial Support has gone to these Ministry Programs in the past:

• Radio Spot Announcements: On air announcements promoted ministries of evangelistic outreach and the HPPC music program.
• Hillier School Student Aid: The HPPC Foundation applied for and received a grant for this purpose from the Agnes Cluthe Oliver Foundation.  The grant was over and above  the Oliver Foundation’s perpetual annual gift to the Foundation for youth and health related purposes.
• Christmas Gifts to Missionary Families: Funds from the Mary Beth Kipp Memorial for Missionaries provided personal gifts, as it does each and every Christmas.  These ongoing perpetual gifts will continue to be gratefully received by our missionary families during the years ahead.
• Tom Currie Bible Class Fund: The HPPC Foundation manages this class’s accumulated monies, income from which has sponsored the highly respected and well received Currie Lecture Series on Christian  topics for many years.  Yearly this fund sends a gift to Grace Presbyterian Village, our PCUSA continuing care retirement community in Dallas.  Monies are also distributed annually to the Presbyterian Children’s Homes in Duncanville, TX and Hugo. OK.
• HPPC’s Katrina/Rita Task Force: To assist relief efforts for those who lost so much in the storms, the Foundation provided $20,000 in support.  A portion of the funds aided First Presbyterian Church of Pascagoula, MS, where our former Associate Pastor, Roger Green has served as Interim Pastor.
• Angel Tree Camping at Sky Ranch: Financial support of the HPPC Foundation provides a Christian camp experience for prisoner’s children at Sky Ranch in Van, TX.  During the summer of 2005, 175 campers heard the Good News of Jesus Christ through Foundation’s funds.  As they spent quality time at the camp, they had fun in a spiritual environment and gained an understanding of the meaning of becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ.  Although these kids “have not done the crime” they suffer the consequences of a parent “doing the time”.
