This guide has been produced by the staff of this office in
order to assist you as you write a Mission Program Grant proposal.
The purpose of the Office of Mission Program Grants, in conjunction
with the Mission Development Resources Committee, is to respond
faithfully to the grant needs of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
The Mission Development Resources Committee is the General
Assembly committee which is responsible for allocating funding
to projects and the development of policies and procedures
for the Mission Program Grant Programs.
In partnership with synods and presbyteries, Mission Program
Grants provides supplemental, short-term, and start-up funding
for new congregations, transforming congregations and congregational-based
ministries that reflect the denomination's commitment to inclusiveness,
diversity and
ecumenicity.
While this guide will not ensure that your proposal will be
approved for funding by the Mission Development Resources Committee,
it will give you valuable insights into what is involved in
the process and what is looked for in a well-written proposal.
We wish you God's blessings with your ministry.
