Support A Volunteer - Application Form

Please read the following information before submitting an application.

The WfM's Support a Volunteer fund gives financial assistance to members of the Free Church of Scotland volunteering for short term mission work overseas.

Grants are made at the discretion of the WfM committee.
The committee will consider funding up to 50% of travel expenses. The maximum grant payable is £500.
In order to benefit as many people as possible, applicants are invited to apply for a grant on not more than two occasions, within a two year period.
Applicants are required to be transparent about their other sources of funding.
The committee will only support applicants volunteering for evangelical mission.
Successful applicants must complete a report.

If the application for funds is successful, and once your period of mission work is finished, a report should be completed within two months of return. Where appropriate, this report may be used in Free Church publications, materials and web pages to highlight and encourage overseas mission. The only exception to this is if the work is of a sensitive nature. You may also be invited to give a report at WfM events.

If your application involves travel, please apply at least two months prior to date of departure.
