Grants can provide the financial boost your ministry needs

In an era of tight budgets and ever-growing needs, ministry leaders often ask: How can we find alternative revenue streams to fund our mission?

Grants are a critical yet sometimes overlooked solution. If you’re pursuing a new idea for ministry, grants can also be one of the best sources of seed funding.

The Foundation is a place to turn for help. An in-person workshop on Saturday, Oct. 5 will show you how to make your proposals stand out from the rest. This opportunity is designed for clergy, staff and laity, particularly those with limited grant experience. Please click here to RSVP.

Think of it as a potential game-changer for your congregation. More resources add up to greater capacity to reach neighbors with the message of God’s love. Among the topics you’ll encounter:
