Local Community Grants

Grant Application
budget template
Inspired by God’s love, the people of Village Church dedicate time and provide over $1 million annually to mission work, particularly in areas focused on homelessness, hunger, and education.  We partner with organizations in Kansas City and throughout the world with a goal of sustainably transforming lives.
​
The Mission Committee of Village Presbyterian Church is a collection of committed disciples seeking to listen for God’s unique calling in this moment and in this community. The Mission Committee undergoes a process of discernment, paying attention to the needs we observe in our community and the organizations that are addressing those needs. Village Church Local Community Grants allocate funds to not-for-profit organizations that care for and protect the vulnerable as well as provide pathways and opportunities for those who are under-resourced.

Your organization is welcome to apply for a Local Community Grant. Please review the guidelines below to determine if your organization aligns with our focus areas.

We are accepting applications Jan. 1-Feb. 28, 2023.

Who can receive funding?

It is our practice to identify three focus areas for each calendar year to give shape and focus to the congregation’s mission outreach. The mission committee invites all organizations addressing these priorities to apply, which will help us learn more about your work and provide the opportunity for your organization to be considered as a partner and candidate for grant monies. Programs will align with one or more of these priorities to be eligible for consideration. Our 2023 focus areas are as follows:

  • Hunger (multiple grants of $2,000 to $6,000 each) 
    • Provide essential life sustaining basic needs, such as financial aid, food and clothing to individuals and families during crises.
    • May provide support to immigrant or refugee families and individuals.
 
  • Homelessness (multiple grants of $2,000 to $6,000 each) 
    • Help individuals and families on their journey to economic independence.
    • Promote financial stability for the working poor, families with children and under-resourced young adults.
    • Provide access to shelter and transitional housing as well as support for achieving and maintaining permanent housing.
    • May provide support to immigrant or refugee families and individuals.
 
  • Adult Education (multiple grants of $2,000 to $6,000 each) 
    • Help adults find success through educational opportunities (age 16 and older).
    • Designed to address the needs of adults who are under-resourced, including those who are low-income, in (or exiting) the foster care system, exhibiting behavioral challenges, etc.
