the table for you, and your family, not only experience
and competency, but also a philosophy of stewardship which
you will find to be solidly biblical and easily understood.
He can help train you and your family to be better stewards
of the assets you will want to dedicate to God’s work.”
Terry Parker, Chairman

“To whom much is given, much is required, and seeking
counsel to effectuate one’s giving is becoming more
and more important.”
David Wills, President
National Christian Foundation, Atlanta, GA
“The growing number of faith-based and community nonprofit
organizations often makes it difficult for busy donors with
no staff assistance to discern which potential recipients
are best able to achieve positive change and measurable
results. However, local community foundations and professional
philanthropic advisors can be good resources for this kind
of assistance.”
Martin C. Lehfeldt, President
Southeastern Council of Foundations, Atlanta, GA
“In the last year, the country has been hit with
scandals in prestigious corporations, charities, and religious
institutions. The public’s confidence has been shaken…It
is wise to seek philanthropic counsel to validate giving
decisions when significant gifts are considered.”
Paul D. Nelson, President
Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability,
Winchester, VA
“The services that Calvin Edwards & Company offer
are much needed by Christian philanthropists. The blend
of heart, common sense and integrity that Calvin brings
to his process assures trustworthy results.”
