Greetings:
It is again time to apply for grants from the Social Ministry, Justice, and Advocacy Committee.
The committee has $6,000 available in 2013, which is the same amount as 2012. Due to budget constraints, this is less than in prior years, and the goal of our committee is to provide at least some assistance to approved grant applications. It is our prayer that in future budget years we can again provide more as the church is an important visible link to our communities.
Please be aware of the deadline and the requirements that are different from past grants. We know being good stewards of God's grace requires two written reports and in separate documents pictures of your projects in action. The deadline for the grant requests is March 31, 2013 so that the committee can make determinations at our 2013 April meeting.
Ellen Davis, SMJA Committee Chair
