Who can apply for Imagining Renewal Microgrants? Any congregation, individual, or community organization that is in relationship with a faith community in northwestern Ohio is welcome to develop a proposal, in partnership with other individuals or ministries. Each organization/congregation is eligible for one grant.
What could proposal projects look like? For this round of Microgrants, the Categories of Care are: Community Sabbath, Ministry Transformed, and Creative Collaboration. Grounding your proposal in one of these Categories ensures that your Microgrant embodies the spirit of the grant. Each proposal can be awarded up to $1,500.
When are Microgrant proposals due? Applications will be eagerly accepted on a rolling basis, opening March 18 and closing April 29. This rolling basis allows coaches to reach out shortly after an application is received.
Where can these Microgrant projects take place? In the first three rounds of Microgrants, we've seen successful ministries sprout up in rural areas, small towns, suburban areas, and urban neighborhoods! There is no limit to what your Microgrant can look like.
Why should you apply? As people of faith, we are called by God to ministry that reaches beyond the walls of our Church buildings and better connects to the life of our communities. As Lutherans, we are ever-committed to reformation and renewal in our spaces. By applying for a Microgrant or encouraging and partnering with someone in your community to apply, you are joining God on the way as we minister "for the renewal of northwest Ohio and the world". |
