The Fingerprint Initiative was founded in January, 2005 by singer/songwriter Ginny Owens. The purposes it serves are as follows:
- To aid in the creation and development of humanitarian programs that would benefit the needs of individuals and communities as Christ would do;
- To work alongside of and provide support for other nonprofit organizations engaged in such programs;
- To partner with concertgoers and fans in providing financial and physical aid to specific non-profit organizations, communities, or individuals whose needs directly relate to Fingerprint's annual focus and theme
