Mini Grant Applications due May 31, 2025

The Missions Committee is again sponsoring a mini-grants program to fund a limited number of Trinity members’ social service/ministries projects/programs. Each mini-grant will have a maximum amount of $2,500 and will be awarded on a selective basis. The online application form will go live on May 1. Applications will be accepted May 1 – May 31. Awards are expected to be made by June 15, 2025.

 

The goals of the program include:

  • Seeking God’s will in the use of our common resources as we strive to care for our neighbors
  • Finding and supporting those social service/ ministries projects that already have Trinity members’ support and involvement
  • Discovering new opportunities for social service or ministry that would benefit from financial support in the short term, particularly those that offer volunteer possibilities for Trinity members in the long term
  • Encouraging those serving, or planning to serve, to share their stories and describe how God is calling them into service

 

Program details:

  • Proposals are welcome from or through Trinity members.
  • Past years’ grant recipients are eligible to apply again this year. However, organizations which have gotten grants for the previous 2 or more years in a row will go to the “end of the line.” They will only be considered by the Evaluation Committee if there is enough in the budget to first fund other eligible applicants who have not received grants for the previous two or more years in a row.
  • Proposals must be completed using the application form, either hard copy or electronically.
  • Since the budget is limited, please submit only one application per member family.
  • A small group of Trinity members will prayerfully consider the applications and seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance in determining the awards.
  • We encourage feedback on how the grant money has benefitted your project. Consider sharing your story by presenting to a Sunday school or Bible study class or submitting news via the church newsletter. 

Applications may be submitted in one of two ways:

  • Select the link below to fill out an application online.
  • Download a hardcopy of the application with the link below, print it, fill it out, and either email it to TLCInfo@tlcms.org, or mail it into the church office at 5601 W. 62nd St, Mission, KS 66202.
