The Principle Foundation promotes inspired benevolence in accordance with the teachings of Christian Science.

God cares for us all.

This fundamental truth is the basis of the work of The Principle Foundation. In caring for each other, we reflect to some small degree God’s care for us. Primarily, we provide financial assistance to students of Christian Science — but we also supply information, services, and an avenue for those who want to help other Christian Scientists in need.

Explore our website to discover the ways you can get help or help others.

Our grants support the demonstration of supply in several areas, including: basic living expenses, Christian Science practitioner fees, Christian Science nursing care, disaster relief, and more.

Our Local Committee program provides the opportunity to work within a small team to review and decide on grant requests from Christian Scientists in your area.

Our information center, Caring for Christian Scientists, offers two ways to find practical help and resources: a website focused on the needs of senior Christian Scientists and a free Call Center.

We supply administrative support to several organizations that provide practical help to Christian Scientists (support for in-person care to fellow Christian Scientists in your community, aid to those released from prison, and help for individuals considering a career in Christian Science nursing).

Find out about our history, mission, staff, jobs, and additional resources — including excerpts of gratitude.

We invite you to make a contribution to help your fellow Christian Scientists through our programs.

The Principle Foundation is a non-profit organization that serves Christian Scientists. It is not an organ of The Mother Church or any of its branches. We are not directly affiliated with other Christian Science organizations, but there are many with whom we partner regularly.

The National Fund for Christian Science Nursing (NFCSN) offers financial assistance for those who are relying on Christian Science for healing, who have a Christian Science nursing care need, and who need financial assistance to be able to afford the full cost of the care. The National Fund is administered by The Principle Foundation.
