The GRANTS FUND is invested in the Foundation's Common Fund. Income only may be used from the Grants Fund and provides grants for creative and worthy ministries within the church, to help projects and groups "get off the ground" in the first years of their undertaking. The grant is to be considered more of a "seed money" type of giving than a continuing support of a project. If a grant is given for more than a year, the policy (with few exceptions) is to phase-out our grant support by the end of a prescribed time period.
