Apply for a Grant
If your congregation is fired up about Young Adult and Campus Ministry, apply for a grant from the JPD YACM Sunday fund. Grant applications are a two-step process. The first step is an easy, one-page "Intent to Apply" form. Once the Grants Sub-Committee receives that form, a representative works with the congregation to complete a slightly longer full application, including budget details and support letters. Visit the Grants Page to download an application and get started right away.
