Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) of Mid-America
Purpose of Reconciliation Grant Program: The Anti-Racism/Pro-Reconciliation Justice Ministry seeks grant proposals for projects to further the work of dismantling racism. Successful projects and funding requests will target the systemic problems of race in our communities and churches. In accordance with Resolution 0731 (2007 General Assembly), entitled Recommendations Concerning Reconciliation Mission, grants under this program are to intended to combat racism and its root, systemic causes and be used for anti-poverty works only if such works contribute directly to the work of racial justice and reconciliation.

Qualifying programs will be managed by recognized congregations or not-for-profit agencies within the Mid-America Region. If the sponsoring organizations are not Disciples of Christ (DOC) congregations, a local or nearby DOC congregation must participate as a co-sponsor. Community collaboration is encouraged, for example between DOC churches, local school(s), police department, not-for-profit agencies or other churches.

Grant applications may be submitted on paper or digitally, including all information requested. Incomplete applications will be returned and may be resubmitted for consideration for a later funding cycle. Applications are due by March 31st.

Along with the completed application, please attach the following:
• Project budget

• Latest annual report of sponsoring church or agency, including financial statements and other pertinent organizational information
