The Sam and Helen
R. Walton Award

gift through the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Foundation of
$6 million. This gift included an endowment in the
amount of $3 million, the earned interest to be
used by new church developments that have placed an emphasis
on site acquisition.

and synods to nominate new church developments that are working
in creative ways to bring the gospel to their local communities.
Those chosen will receive a one-time financial award of $50,000.
