It’s our favorite time of year again. Come and join us as a charity applicant, a financial contributor or Awards Banquet volunteer. We have room to share, safe and socially distanced, and watching what God will do among us!

Donations are now being taken for the 2021 Grant Awards. Click the link below to make your contribution, inform us of your DAF requests, or how you’d like to be involved. Because of Covid-19, we have not set our banquet time/date yet. We do look forward to gathering again and celebrating the grant award winners. Keep checking back here – we’ll most likely plan a banquet in the Spring of 2021 to celebrate in all God has done.
“Inspiring Generosity”
“Inspiring Generosity”
There have been miracles of service in the midst of the 2020 COVID pandemic. When we awarded grants to 11 charities in February, no one knew how dramatically we would be impacted. I am awed at what God has done, and humbled to profoundly thank Donors who made the resources available and these Grantees for their creative response to the adversity of COVID in their plans and work. Many of these stories brought me to tears- of Joy!
It was just February 6, 2020 that we gathered to Celebrate with Grant Recipients, Donors and Friends. With the generosity of each Donor who contributed to the “Soaring Together as One” Grants Fund, we were blessed to distribute $60,000 to 11 Charities and Churches. As promised, we are sharing the reports each Grantee prepared of funds spent and outcomes. Please take a few minutes to read their stories-and know that thousands are being impacted!

The Purpose Of These Grant Awards
The purpose of these Grant Awards is to support activities that inspire generosity for Christian Impact through effective reproduction and sustaining best practices in church and ministry settings. We consider grants fulfilling this purpose in the following three areas:
-
-
Church planting, church start-ups and expansion of the church
-
Ministering to homeless, poor, and disadvantaged
-
Ministry movements such as discipleship or stewardship
-
The 2020 Grant Program has concluded
with a fabulous Banquet.
Congratulations to all the Grant Recipients!
