Grants

The United Methodist Foundation of Western Pennsylvania awards a limited number of grants to local churches and affiliated agencies of the Western Pennsylvania Annual Conference. Through these awards of grant dollars and Foundation staff time, we seek to enhance and expand their ministries. The ultimate goal of these awards is to provide sufficient counsel such that these ministries become self-sustaining.

These grants are made only for programs and activities — including operating expenses and supplies necessary for those programs or activities. They are not made for building repair, replacement, or expansion.

All materials necessary for completion of a Grant Application Form are available on this Web site. Please review carefully both our Grant Application Guidelines and Directions for Submission of Grant Applications before sending in your Grant Application.

After doing so, please complete your Grant Application Form and submit it to the Foundation during the appropriate application phase.

The application phase for the 2012 grants will be open from February 1, 2012 until the deadline of Friday, March 23, 2012. Applications received either before February 1 or after March 23 will not be considered. Please note that beginning in 2012 all applications for Foundation grants must be submitted electronically.

Foundation grant awards are announced by the end of May. Recipients of Foundation grants are periodically required to submit a Grant Progress Report to update us on their activities.

Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns about Foundation grants or the grant application process.
