Foundation Announces 2021 Grant Awards

Wing’s Ministry, Farmville District

Each year, the Foundation awards a limited number of grants to Virginia Methodist Churches and affiliated agencies of the VA United Methodist Conference. Our focus is on unifying mission, ministry and impact to better assist and equip ministries in their projects, as well as help them to build a future.

At year end, the Grant Committee of the Foundation Board of Directors awards ministries from across the Conference. Grants are given from three funds: Foundation Grants Fund, Dr. William J. and Frances Hanna Memorial Grant, and Micah 6:8/No Harm Do Good Endowment Grant

We are pleased to announce that the 2021 Foundation Grants has touched twenty-five ministries across eleven districts. Based on the recommendation of the Grant Committee to the Foundation Board, the total amount awarded was $66,650.
