Planting Hope Mini-Grants

The final initiative in The Planting Hope Campaign is to fund a variety of creative projects in congregations to serve as a springboard for inviting others into life in Christ. The projects may be traditional forms of outreach and evangelism or may reflect a serve and learn model for sharing what it means to be followers of Jesus. All congregations in the Saint Paul Area Synod are eligible to apply for a mini-grant. The congregation’s 2025 report (Form A) needs to have been submitted to the ELCA prior to grant application submission. Funded by The Planting Hope Campaign, each mini-grant will be for $2,500, which can be matched by in-kind labor or dollars from the congregation.

The application process has closed.
