To seek the Kingdom is to seek beyond our own years.

Like John the Baptist preparing the way, our role isn't to build something centered on ourselves. We want to build something that points to Christ and serves the generations after us. "He must increase, but I must decrease." (John 3:30)

That's why Magnify is building a perpetual endowment fund, a resource that keeps blessing the next generation long after we're gone. It will serve our local community and creators and disciples around the world, so faithful creatives can make beautiful work that points to Jesus without depending entirely on worldly systems.

What the Fund Does
Our initial goal is $180,000. The principal stays invested and untouched, and only the annual earnings go out. At the goal, that's up to $18,000 a year, with the exact payout rate set by our board each year to keep the fund healthy, for:

creative scholarships to come to Magnify Studio
artist support and creator residencies
discipleship and creative formation
creative ministry initiatives that send artists back out equipped to serve their communities

A Fund That Grows
The $180,000 is our starting goal, not the ceiling. The endowment stays open to new gifts, and every contribution adds to the principal. As the fund grows, so does what it gives back each year, which means more scholarships, more residencies, and more artists sent out. Today's gifts keep paying forward for generations.

Restoring the Culture of Patronage
Communities used to support their artists, and that work reflected their values, beauty, and spiritual imagination. Magnify hopes to revive a small piece of that tradition here in Florida, in a way other cities could follow.

A Different Kind of Gift
This isn't giving for monthly operations or yearly ministry costs. It's a gift made with generations in mind, a seed that keeps blessing creatives long after all of us.

A Word from our founder, Philip Shibata:
"This vision needs people willing to think beyond the present moment. We're not looking for large donors just to fund operations. We're inviting those with the capacity to invest in something that will last far beyond our lifetimes: a fund entrusted with integrity, stewarded with beauty, and dedicated to the glory of Christ. We long for a new kind of renaissance, built not on human glory but on the beauty of Christ, for our children and their children after them."

"None of this belongs to us. Jesus paid it all. He is the beauty we point to."

Ways to Give
You can give securely online on this page. Every gift counts toward the endowment goal.
