Grants
Applications
The United Methodist City Society offers grants to its member churches to support their various ministries and programs. To begin the application process for a grant, start with filling out the initial grant request form. At this time we are currently unable to provide funding or grants for any capital improvement or building related projects.
Next Steps
1. Download and complete the initial grant request form and email it to grantapplication@umcitysociety.org.
2. Once your initial application is reviewed, a more detailed application will be emailed to the church for completion. This application will require additional visioning and information.
3. If you require any assistance during the grant process, you may contact the City Society for assistance from staff and/ or from the committees that will review your request.
