GBCS Grants
The General Board of Church and Society (GBCS) awards grants to United Methodist congregations and groups related to The United Methodist Church through the Ethnic Local Church, Human Relations Day, and Peace with Justice programs. To apply for grants, applicants must complete forms on the GBCS online system. The deadline is 4 p.m. July 24.
Church and Society provides grant awards in three categories:
Ethnic Local Church Grants focus on the self-identified needs of ethnic local churches and persons as they address one or more chronic social issues or concerns.
Human Relations Day Grants support advocacy and community engagement aimed at uplifting the right of all God’s children to realize their potential in right relationship with one another.
Peace with Justice Grants support programs and projects that witness to God’s demands for a faithful, just, disarmed, and secure world.
Grant awards range from $2000 - $5000. None of the money can be used to fund individual scholarships, salaries, purchases of equipment, purely administrative costs, or direct delivery of services.
