Please review the informational and instructional video, “Applying for a Synod of the
Covenant Matthew 25 Grant.” 

Please find examples for recent examples of applications that did an outstanding job addressing Matthew 25 initiatives, here.

Read each application prompt carefully and create a header for each prompt. Applications that do not concisely answer each prompt will not be considered. If you cannot answer each prompt, consider whether or not your project is truly a Matthew 25 project.

Applications and all requested materials, as well as an endorsement letter from pastor or moderator/clerk of session or Executive Director/Board Chair of PC(USA) Institution, must be submitted together to receive consideration by the grant review committee. 

Application must include a letter of endorsement/reference (not attestation) from the Presbytery leader (Executive or General Presbyter or Stated Clerk) and sent underseparate cover by the writer from the application packet, due directly to  grants@synodofthecovenant.org by October 7, 2024.  The Synod Grants Committee strongly recommends ongoing conversations with Presbytery leadership during the application process in an effort to submit a strong proposal.

Applications will be reviewed beginning October 8, 2024. 

Late or incomplete applications will not be considered nor will they be carried forward automatically. 

Applicants will need to reapply for the next cycle to be eligible for funding.
