Child welfare grants available

If your LCANZ congregation, school, aged care or community service has a project supporting the welfare of children that needs financial backing, the church’s Borgfeldt Legacy grants may be able to help.

Two funding streams are available: major grants with a maximum value of $50,000 and minor grants, which are worth up to $10,000. An application may be for a specific once-off project or initial support for a longer-term child-focused program.

Departments and agencies of the church also are eligible to apply for the grants. Applications for major grants close on 30 September each year, while minor grant applications are open year-round.

More details about the application process, promotional materials, an information booklet, application forms and acquittal reports are available here.
