2017 GRANT PROGRAMS
In 2015, United Methodist Community Ministries (UMCM) awarded 80 grants for a total of $243,650. The UMCM Board and Local Outreach Committee are pleased to announce the 2017 Grant Program. By way of grant funding, UMCM encourages congregations across Capitol Area North and South Districts to reach out and serve those in your local communities via missional ministries. Please pass the word along about this opportunity to help fund new ministries to reach new people right in your neighborhood.
GRANT APPLICATIONS AND DEADLINES
The grant forms for funding in 2017 will be available by August 1, 2016, and the deadline for submission will be October 3, 2016. During October,every Ministry program will have a site-visit by a member of the UMCM Local Outreach Committee (LOC). On November 2, 2016 the LOC will review the applications and make determinations on which grants and amounts will be recommended for funding to the UMCM Board, who will give final approval at their November 9 meeting. Notice of awards will be sent after that meeting.
Micro-Grants are still available for 2016. Some of the "Other Grants" programs also have funds still available for 2016. Same as for 2017, talk to your Assistant to the DS to inquire. Click HERE for information about Grants and money available.
