The Gift of Faith Foundation

The Gift of Faith Foundation, Inc., is a not-for-profit corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York, with tax-exempt status pursuant to section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. All donations are, accordingly, tax-deductible as provided by law.

The Foundation was created to encourage artists to turn their talents to Christian themes, to be the "leaven" and "light for the whole world" the Bible speaks about (Matt 5:14, 13:33; Lk 13:21) and to hasten through their works the return of our culture to its Christian roots. To achieve this end, the Foundation sponsors a yearly competition featuring one of the artistic media (Competition 2006-2007 features music). All serious artists, regardless of age or other classifications, are invited to submit their works, and the winner will be awarded a purse of $5,000.

The directors of Gift of Faith- William Conroy, President; Robert Moran, Vice-President; Bernadette Harris, Secretary- assure our visitors to this site and those who enter our competitions of our steadfast commitment to this our mission. We only pray that Almighty God bless our efforts and that through His help the Foundation, a gift of our Faith, which comes as a free Gift from Him, be instrumental in producing a rich harvest of artists' works, gifts of their talents and of their own Faith.
