The fund, established in 1997, is dedicated to providing financial assistance to programs and organizations that support the poor and needy, and individuals in need in the area served by Emanuel Church.

Requests for financial assistance from the fund will be judged objectively without preference given to race, gender or religious affiliation.   Contributions to the fund are welcome.

Grantmaking Policies:

The programs and funding decisions of the Mission Outreach Fund are the responsibility of Emanual Church's Mission Outreach Committee under the guidelines approved by the Church's Board of Trustees.   The policies set forth herein will be reviewed periodically and are subject to modification to meet changing conditions and needs.

  •    Normally award grants only to nonprofit organizations and institutions or to individuals faced with compelling need for assistance.

  •    Favor projects that are not normally financed by public tax funds.

  •    Consider requests from religious organizations and institutions only when the resulting impact of the project is not primarily denoninational.

  •    Judge objectively requests for financial assistance without regard to race, gender or religious affiliation.

Grantees must possess the resources to properly administer grants from the fund.  The Mission Outreach Committee conducts an annual evaluation of grants, and grantees are asked to provide periodic reports on the progress of their projects.

Grants will be awarded on an annual or project basis.  Renewal of grants for ongoing activities will not be automatic.  Recipients must reapply each year if continued funding is desired.
