FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM THE SYNOD, VIA GRANTS

            Please discover, as you scroll through the panels below, multiple ways in which the Synod is interested in and willing to help you achieve your ministry goals. Grants are available through  Special and Restricted Funds, including a special section reserved for efforts that meet the Matthew 25 guidelines, Partnering Grants,  and Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation Grants. Also included within the Synod's work is support for the Rev. Dr. Leon E. Fanniel Racial Ethnic Pastoral Leadership Scholarshp Program (REPL).

Please note that for your convenience, all Synod Grant Applications can be completed electronically and returned by email. REPL application forms are in Microsoft Word format; the rest are in PDF-fillable  format.

            It is important to realize that any PDF document that has spaces for information to be entered on the form   MUST be downloaded to your computer or mobile device before you begin to enter your information. Simply click on the link for the PDF you will need and you'll see it pop up on your screen, but at this point it's only a screen image.  Any method you use to move a photo file to your computer/mobile device should work for saving a PDF to your system; please see the next paragraph for additional suggestions.

           For most  computer or mobile devices, go to FILE and select "Save to PDF" or "Download File."  Or, depending on your operating system, you may need to select "Print to PDF" under your Print function.  If your electronic format allows, you can also save a PDF by dragging the image you see onto your screen.

          Once you have downloaded the file you'll be able to fill in the required information. You can save your work at any time so you can come back to it, or when completed, forward the completed document as directed for the individual grant opportunity you are seeking..
