Congregational Development Grants support congregations in strengthening their ministries, deepening vitality and responding faithfully to emerging opportunities and challenges.
The previous open application cycle for Congregational Development Grants has been sunset and there is not an open application process for these funds in 2026.
Funding remains available through the Congregational Development Grants–Targeted program. Congregations interested in being considered for targeted funding should begin by contacting their regional canon. Regional canons can help discern whether targeted funding may be available and whether a congregation’s needs align with the purpose of the program.
