Grants
Procedure
The
Foundation has one granting cycle each calendar year. Applications
are accepted from January 1st and must be received by March
31st
(for 2019 the cutoff date for applications will be Friday, March
29).
The Foundation committee, responsible for grants, spends the month
of April in reviewing the requests in detail and doing any
necessary follow-up. This committee then makes their
recommendations to the full board of directors for approval.
All applicants are informed during the month of May as to the
disposition of their grant request. For those receiving grants, the
funding process will commence immediately and all funds will be
available in a timely manner. All milestone dependent grants must
be achieved by March 31 of the following year.
There
are four grant application tracks (categories) available when
applying for a grant
from
the
First Baptist Church of Phoenix Foundation.
Grant ranges shown are based
on experience to date and are for information purposes
only.
Track
A-Funding for planting a new church
Providing
funds for the planting of new Christian churches is the main
mission of the Foundation. There must be funds available to the
applicant from other sources that are equal to or greater than
those being requested. The grant funding for this track can range
up to $60,000 over a two year period. However, funding is only
approved for twelve months at a time (the Foundation’s fiscal
year), and a new application must be submitted for subsequent year
funding. Grants for planting a new church will have milestones such
as: core team building, launch team building, attendance,
etc..
Track
B-Funding for education and training of planting
pastors
For
individual pastors, this is a one time funding in the range of
$1,000 to $5,000 based on actual training costs. For organizations
that provide education and training for planting pastors the range
would be $5,000 to $10,000.
Track
C-Funding for mission and outreach projects
This track is for projects that relate to, and support, the overall
mission of the Foundation.
This is a one time funding in the range of $10,000 to $20,000
dollars. Actual funding is
based on project costs.
Track
D-Funding for support of new churches
This track is for churches, less than four years old, that have
demonstrated success in
growing God’s kingdom, but are not yet financially self sufficient.
This is a one time
funding in the range of $10,000 to $30,000 dollars and may also
have Foundation specified milestones.
The
First Baptist Church of Phoenix Foundation makes
grants to bona fide churches
in
the U.S. and to IRS-recognized 501(c) (3) public charities. In most
cases, funding
requests for individual missionaries, and for foreign churches or
organizations, should be
made by a sponsoring church or IRS-recognized public charity in the
United States. In
special circumstances, the Foundation may review requests for
direct funding to
individual missionaries and foreign organizations. Please contact
the Foundation before
submitting such applications.
