The Foundation celebrates our 75th anniversary in October 2024!
In honor of this milestone, the Foundation will grant two 75th Anniversary grants of $7,500 to two churches in each of the five districts for a total of $75,000.
Priority will be given to applicant churches partnering with local nonprofits.
Therefore, there will be no distinct agency / organization category for nonprofits themselves to apply; applicants must be local UM churches in the NIC, preferably in partnership with a local nonprofit.
The intention of each grant is to help churches develop new or expand creative ministries.
The application deadline is extended to September 30. Per usual, the recipients will be finalized in mid-December.
The Foundation has granted more than $1,000,000 to 200+ ministries since 1999. See some of the stories here.
