The purpose of The Matthew 25 Fund is to honor Christ as he spoke in Matthew 25:35-40. Jerry and Lynda Engelhardt established the fund through a strong desire to help people as in the verse. The primary criteria for making awards shall be Matthew 25:35-40. A secondary criterion shall be to evaluate if the proposed project will help establish or maintain congregational outreach and unity as in the spirit of the verse.
Preference will be given to congregations in the Pacifica Synod of ELCA. Consideration may be given to other Christian organizations with proven responsible management.
Additional information about the grant and the downloadable application may be found on the web page here. The deadline for applications is October 15, 2021 and grant awards will be distributed by December 31, 2021.
I am having trouble entering text on your application. I attempted to save it to no avail. It looks like I may have to print it and handwrite data on it. Any suggestions.
