Becoming Beloved Community

Province V Network Initiative Grants

Purpose
The primary purpose of Province V is to support collaboration and networking amongst the fourteen dioceses that compose our body. Collaborative ministry is already taking place throughout our Province, including several networks working on initiatives such as racial justice, creation care, and resort ministries. 

In an effort to support and catalyze these networks, the Province V Executive Board offers grants for new and collaborative initiatives that are the result of dioceses working together for a common cause - to forward the Jesus Movement in the Midwest.

$9,500 has been designated for Network Initiatives Grants for 2020. Initiatives may apply for up to $2,000 per project.
Grants are available on a rolling basis and applications are accepted throughout the year, until funds have all been disbursed. 

Guidelines
Eligibility
  • Initiatives must include leaders from two or more dioceses in Province V. 
  • Applicants are encouraged to include additional dioceses and leaders from within and outside of Province V.
  • Initiatives may include:
    • Training for network leadership
    • Special events open to all dioceses in the province
    • Projects to evangelize or otherwise connect with non-Episcopalians
    • Other initiatives to invite members of Province V into further action
  • Applications must be endorsed by a bishop of each participating Province V diocese.​ ​

    Province V Network Initiative Grant Application
