Due to the generosity of individual donors and contributions from the Foundation’s Gifts from the Heart Program, the Nebraska United Methodist Foundation was able to award over $40,000 to more than 140 churches in Nebraska that have been negatively affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Grants in the amount of $300 were made to assist churches in mission, ministry and greatest needs.

In an effort to bring positivity to this unique time, the Nebraska United Methodist Foundation staff has issued a ‘selfie challenge.’ Once a church receives the grant check, they are challenged to post a selfie with the check to the NUMF Facebook page or Twitter page with the hashtag #NEMethodistStrong. Any church that shares the selfie throughout the month of May will be entered into a drawing for a gift basket that includes a matching $300 grant. The drawing will take place via Facebook Live on Friday, May 29. Visit our Facebook and/or Twitter pages to follow along with the fun.

The list of churches recieving these grants will be posted soon!
