The application season for the New Start/New Faith Community Grants is now closed.

The Nebraska United Methodist Foundation is pleased to be able to provide a new church development grant opportunity to Nebraska churches and affiliated Nebraska agencies of the Great Plains United Methodist Conference.  Due to the generosity of donors supporting congregational development, these grants work to alleviate some of the financial burden for new church starts.  Applications are available every Spring with a deadline of April 1st.  The Board of Directors' Stewardship Committee will review the applicants during its April Board Meeting and a full board vote will follow.  Notifications to applicants and recipients will be made by May 1st.  If you have questions about the application process or would like to talk to the Foundation about how you can help grow these types of grants, please call us at 877-495-5545.
