Current & Future Projects
Helping Our Neighbors. Strengthening Our Communities. Sharing Hope.
At Futuremark Ministries, we believe helping someone in need can make a lasting difference in their life.
We are a Christian nonprofit organization committed to serving individuals and families experiencing financial hardship by helping meet practical, everyday needs. As a 100% volunteer organization, our goal is to put available resources directly toward helping people and carrying out our charitable mission.
Below are some of the programs and projects we are developing as Futuremark Ministries continues to grow.
Emergency & Essential Home Repair Program
Status: Developing & Seeking Funding
A broken furnace, leaking pipe, electrical problem, damaged roof, or other essential home repair can quickly become a serious problem—especially for someone already struggling financially.
Futuremark Ministries is developing an Emergency & Essential Home Repair Program to help qualifying homeowners experiencing financial hardship address necessary repairs that affect the safety, accessibility, or basic livability of their homes.
Depending on available funding, donated materials, volunteers, and the circumstances of each household, assistance may include:
Plumbing repairs
Electrical repairs
Heating-related repairs
Roofing repairs
Accessibility improvements
Emergency home repairs
Exterior safety or property repairs
Other essential repairs determined on a case-by-case basis
Each request will be reviewed individually, and assistance will depend upon eligibility, available resources, project feasibility, and funding at the time assistance is requested.
Our Goal
Our goal isn't simply to repair a house.
It is to help someone remain in a safe, functional home when an essential repair may otherwise be financially out of reach.

Lawn Care Assistance
Status: Planned
Maintaining a property can become difficult for someone experiencing financial hardship, limited resources, or other circumstances that prevent them from keeping up with necessary outdoor maintenance.
Futuremark Ministries hopes to develop a volunteer-supported lawn care program that can provide basic mowing and related assistance to qualifying residents when resources are available.
To launch and grow this service, Futuremark Ministries will need donated or funded lawn-care equipment.
Equipment and support needs may include:
Zero-turn or riding mower
Push mowers
Trimmers and basic lawn equipment
Fuel and maintenance assistance
Trailer and transportation equipment
Volunteers willing to serve
Snow Removal Assistance
Status: Planned
Michigan winters can create serious challenges for residents who do not have the resources to keep driveways and important access areas clear.
Futuremark Ministries hopes to provide limited snow-removal assistance for qualifying individuals and households when snow creates an access or safety concern and resources are available.
Developing this program will require appropriate equipment, transportation, volunteers, fuel, maintenance, and ongoing financial support.
Our long-term equipment goals include obtaining a capable 4x4 truck and snow-plowing equipment that can be used in support of Futuremark Ministries' charitable programs.
Emergency Needs Assistance
Status: Future Program Development
Not every emergency involves a home repair.
Futuremark Ministries is also exploring ways to provide additional assistance to individuals and families experiencing financial hardship.
As funding and donated resources become available, future assistance could include needs such as:
Clothing
Food and basic necessities
Essential household items
Limited communication assistance
Other urgent needs considered on a case-by-case basis
These programs may be developed carefully as Futuremark Ministries obtains the funding, partnerships, volunteers, and resources necessary to operate them responsibly.
Building the Equipment We Need to Serve
One Piece of Equipment Can Help Many People
Some of our future programs require more than volunteers—they require the right equipment.
Futuremark Ministries is seeking partnerships with businesses, manufacturers, dealerships, foundations, organizations, and individual donors who may be interested in helping provide equipment or financial support.
Equipment and resources we are currently seeking include:
Heavy-duty 4x4 pickup truck
Utility and equipment trailers
Snowplow and snow-removal equipment
Zero-turn or riding mower
Lawn-care equipment
Tools for home-repair projects
Equipment and supplies necessary for community assistance projects
A donated truck, mower, trailer, tool, or piece of equipment isn't intended to help just one household.
It can become a resource used again and again to help people throughout our communities.
Interested in Donating Equipment or Materials?
Businesses and individuals interested in discussing an in-kind donation, materials, equipment, professional services, or another partnership are encouraged to contact Futuremark Ministries.
Where We Plan to Serve
Futuremark Ministries is based in Michigan and is developing assistance programs intended to serve communities in our surrounding region, with an initial focus that includes Saginaw County, Shiawassee County, and Genesee Counties. As resources grow, we hope to expand into additional communities.
The number and type of projects we can undertake will depend on funding, volunteer availability, donated materials, equipment, project requirements, and other available resources.
No Faith Requirement to Receive Assistance
Futuremark Ministries is proudly a Christian nonprofit ministry, and our faith in Jesus Christ is at the heart of why we serve.
At the same time, receiving charitable assistance from Futuremark Ministries is not conditioned upon a person's religious beliefs or participation in religious activities.
We seek to treat every person we serve with dignity, compassion, and respect.
Our desire is simple:
Love God. Serve people. Help those in need.
You Can Help Make the Next Project Possible
Every project begins with a need.
But it takes people willing to help turn that need into a solution.
Your support can help Futuremark Ministries purchase repair materials, obtain necessary equipment, support community projects, and provide practical assistance to individuals and families facing difficult circumstances.
You can help through:
Financial donations
Donated building materials
Donated tools and equipment
Professional or skilled services
Corporate partnerships
Volunteer service
Community partnerships
Sharing our mission with others
Whether you give financially, donate materials, volunteer your time, or simply help spread the word, you can become part of the next project.
