Details:
The mission of the Lexington UMC Social Justice Endowment Fund is to support programs that promote and enhance the dignity and welfare of people in unjust circumstances, and which address underlying systemic inequities and causes of injustice.
The Lexington United Methodist Church Social Justice (LUMCSJ) Endowment Fund was established in 2002 as part of the Lexington United Methodist Church’s 50th Anniversary Celebration. It was intended to provide financial support for social justice projects regionally, nationally, and internationally. When the Lexington UMC closed in 2016, the fund and its ministry was transferred to the United Methodist Foundation of New England (Foundation).
The Foundation’s Grants Committee solicits specific proposals from organizations, churches, and others for social justice projects which can either be completed using the funds available (not to exceed $2,500), or which make a substantial contribution to an on-going project.
Funding Information
This program is open to groups within, and beyond, the United Methodist Church offering up to $2,500 per qualified grants.
