Grant to Relieve Immediate Hunger needs and Barriers in Arizona (USA)
GrantID: 75457
Grant Funding Amount Low: Open
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: Open
Summary
A funding opportunity is available for faith‑based congregations and ministry groups within a specified regional synod in the American Southwest. The program is designed to support community‑led efforts that both relieve immediate hunger needs and tackle longer‑term barriers such as poverty, employment instability, inadequate education, healthcare access, childcare shortfalls, infrastructure challenges or systemic inequities. Applicants are encouraged to show a commitment to inclusive leadership and decision‑making practices, reflective of diverse voices.
Eligible applicants include organized congregations, newly launched worshiping communities, or special ministries affiliated with the regional synod. The funding is not aimed at individuals or for‑profit enterprises, but rather groups rooted in local ministry and community service. The available pool of funds totals approximately $20,000 for the current cycle, with award amounts varying depending on project scope and budget justification. Applicants should articulate how the investment will make a measurable difference in alleviating hunger and its root causes within their community.
Use of funds may cover program development, outreach efforts, infrastructure or equipment needed to support food access or service delivery, capacity‑building for staff or volunteers, and initiatives that strengthen local equity and resilience. Projects that integrate service with strategic system‑change thinking tend to align well with the funding interests. The application deadline for the current cycle is at the end of July, and awards are distributed on an annual or roughly annual basis through this single funding round each year.
In short, this opportunity invites mission‑driven congregational or ministry organizations to leverage a modest grant to deepen their impact on food security and community well‑being in the region. If your ministry organization is founded in the target area, addresses both hunger and its underlying causes, and values inclusive leadership, this funding may be a timely resource for meaningful local growth.
