Grants available for youth,
young adult ministries
UMNS -- United Methodists involved in cutting-edge
ministries with youth and young adults may obtain grants of up to $15,000.
The grants are available under the auspices of the
Shared Mission Focus on Young People, a global initiative. They are designed to
enable creative, life-transforming ministries with young people. Grants are
being offered through the United Methodist boards of Church and Society, Global
Ministries, Higher Education and Discipleship.
The money would assist local churches, annual
conferences in the United States and central conferences abroad, cooperative
parishes, ecumenical shared ministries, campus ministries, youth serving
agencies, and United Methodist organizations working with churches in programs
for youth and young adults.
Ministries may receive grants of up to $15,000 per
year for up to three years. Projects may be funded once or for the three-year
cycle.
Deadline for applications for the first funding
cycle is Jan. 15. Contact the office of the Shared Mission Focus on Young People
