Grants and Funds Highlight
The Synod of the Mid-Atlantic offers grants and designated funds to support leadership development, congregational vitality, innovative ministry, and mission across our region. Each month, we highlight one fund to help churches and leaders better understand—and access—these resources.
Welcome
small Church Grants
These grants, scholarships, and funds have been made possible by the generous giving of Presbyterians. In that same spirit, contributions are needed to continue grant funding. The most immediate way to contribute is through an individual, group, or congregational donation to the Synod for a specified purpose. Individuals can also help through bequests from their estates, by making it a beneficiary of their life insurance, or with gifts of securities, real estate, or annuities.
