Servant Foundation

The Servant Foundation, also known as The Signatry,[1] is an American 501(c)(3) non-profit organization funded primarily by anonymous donors, that operates a donor-advised fund. It is best known for "He Gets Us", a religious advertising campaign that was first launched in 2022 and is no longer affiliated with Servant.[2][3] The foundation describes its mission as being to "inspire and facilitate revolutionary, biblical generosity".[1]

The Servant Foundation has been funded in part by the billionaire Green family, who are among fifty other families contributing millions of dollars to the foundation.[4][5] The Servant Foundation has used that money to fund legislation that is anti-LGBTQ and anti-abortion. Contributions from the foundation to other far-right Christian organizations exceed a total amount of $65 million.[6][7][8]

History

The Servant Foundation was founded by Bill High in 2000.[9] From 2000 to 2017, it was an affiliate of the National Christian Foundation.[7]

The Servant Foundation's most public facing effort has been the "He Gets Us" advertising campaign, airing during Super Bowl commercial breaks.[10][11] As of early 2024, the campaign is no longer affiliated with the foundation.[3]
