Self-Development of People grant money available
|
Applications are now available for the Synod of the Trinity's Self-Development of People 2007 grants. Within the bounds of the Synod are groups oppressed by poverty or social systems who want to take charge of their own lives. These organizations have structured themselves to affect their own conditions and to control their destiny. Projects like these are the ones which the Self Development of People Committee of the Synod of the Trinity searches out and assists with funding which in turn produces direct long-term benefits for the group and the local community.
The partnerships are initiated by proposals to the Synod's SDOP Committee and are evaluated by its funding criteria. Annually, the Synod funds approximately $65,000 for SDOP projects within its boundaries. Funding comes from the One Great Hour of Sharing offering.
Chairman Eugene Brown encourages interested groups within the bounds of the Synod to apply now. Deadline is May 1, 2007. The criteria and application (in pdf) or the application (in MS word) are available online or by calling the Synod Office. In addition, committee members are available locally for proposal support. For a person in your area, please contact Marcia Humer at the Synod office at 800-242-0534 ext. 233, or via email.
