WHAT THIS FUND DOES

The Novi Children’s Fund is an endowment created to make sure children affected by war are not forgotten when the crisis is no longer in the news.

War does not end when the headlines fade.

Children carry its effects for years. Sometimes for life.

The fund exists so that care does not disappear when attention moves on. It provides a steady foundation for trauma care, nutrition, and support systems for children living through war.

This is how we help restore what war has disrupted.

ESTABLISHED BY DOUGLAS SCHARBAUER

The Novi Children’s Fund was established through the vision and generosity of Douglas Scharbauer.

For generations, the Scharbauer family has strengthened communities across the Permian Basin. Through this fund, that legacy extends beyond one place and reaches children living through war in Ukraine, Myanmar, Iraq, and beyond.

Doug has helped reach tens of thousands of children through his support of Novi’s work.

This fund reflects something personal.

A decision to invest not only in what can be seen, but in lives that may never be known.

Stewardship

This fund is built with care and accountability.

It is overseen by an Endowment Committee that reports to the Board of Directors.

Its purpose is to ensure wise management, long-term strength, and faithful stewardship.

The goal is simple: to protect the fund so it can continue serving children for generations.
