Grants are a critical yet sometimes overlooked solution. If you’re pursuing a new idea for ministry, grants can also be one of the best sources of seed funding.
The Foundation is a place to turn for help. An in-person workshop on Saturday, Oct. 5 will show you how to make your proposals stand out from the rest. This opportunity is designed for clergy, staff and laity, particularly those with limited grant experience. Please click here to RSVP.
Think of it as a potential game-changer for your congregation. More resources add up to greater capacity to reach neighbors with the message of God’s love. Among the topics you’ll encounter:
Grant Writing – In-Person Workshop with Karen Martin
About the facilitator
Karen Martin has worked on both sides of the table: as a grants officer for a family foundation and as a volunteer philanthropist for an Impact Fund; and also as an individual fundraiser for various nonprofits.
Relying on this breadth of experience, Karen identifies strategies to help others understand what you do, why your work is so important and how they can support your efforts.

There was a special tribute for outgoing board chair Anne Martin, whose steadying presence proved invaluable as the Foundation navigated post-pandemic recovery, disaffiliation and accompanying challenges.
