R. H. Boyd Family Endowment Fund

Boyd GrantMission Statement

The R. H. Boyd Family Endowment Fund serves as a living memorial to not

only the late Dr. R. H. Boyd, founder of the National Baptist Publishing Board/

R.H. Boyd Publishing Corporation, but to the entire Boyd family and four gen-

erations of leadership in the publishing industry for more than one hundred

years. This family includes both men and women who have valiantly striven to

advance the cause of Christ through the printing and dissemination of millions

of Christian, historical, music, and family publications and periodicals, which

have been distributed throughout America and in various parts of the world.

The Fund serves as a vehicle through which The R.H. Boyd Company puts

resources back into the community in a positive and helpful way and encour-

ages churches, organizations, and worthy students to attain goals and standards

for the betterment of the total community.

The R. H. Boyd Family Endowment Fund reserves the right at any time, with

or without notice, to modify, amend, and change the policies and rules of the

R. H. Boyd Family Endowment Fund. Said modification, change, or amend-

ment may operate retrospectively or prospectively as determined by R. H. Boyd

Family Endowment Fund.

Worthiness of grant will be considered by the Endowment Commitee and

will be granted for projects in keeping in the overall mission statement of the

endowment.
