Fund for Mission
Apply for a Fund for Mission grant for your congregation.
The Fund for Mission is a synod endowment fund that provides grants to congregations for new and innovative evangelical outreach efforts. Last year, grants totaling $102,000 were distributed to 15 congregations. Grants ranged from $2100 to $16,500. Congregations that have previously received funding may apply for one follow-up grant for the same project.
