Guidelines
Awards are granted based on the following guidelines:
- Foundation grants are primarily intended to help initiate programs, projects, or activities – especially those that are innovative, new, or acutely needed. Their priority is to fund activities in the conference that have the capacity of enriching many or all local churches’ ministries. In general, Foundation grants are not intended to provide for personnel costs, sustaining support, or to fund the existing regular operational obligations of a church or agency. Grants are generally not awarded to pay for personal ministry expenses, local church building capital improvements, or maintenance.
- They will avoid becoming the perpetual funder for any ongoing program or ministry.
- They target their resources primarily to United Methodist programs and ministries of the West Virginia Annual Conference.
- They want to be targeted and strategic in their grant-making, preferring to make fewer substantial commitments, rather than diluting their impact by spreading their resources thinly over many small requests.
- They conscientiously attempt to communicate with conference leadership to better understand the Conference’s needs and opportunities.
