The Foundation awards ministry grants to Nebraska Methodist churches and affiliated agencies of the Great Plains United Methodist Conference. Through these awards of grant dollars, we seek to enhance and expand ministries. These grants are made only for programs and activities (including operating expenses and supplies). They are not made for building repair, replacement, or expansion. The grants come from the Foundation’s “Gifts From the Heart” Endowment Fund.  Applications are reviewed by the Foundation's Stewardship Committee and voted on by the Board of Directors at the October meeting. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns about the grant application process. 

The deadline to apply is September 30th.  Grant awards are mailed to churches by December 1st.  To apply, please complete the ministry grant application and mail it to us or submit via email to kroberts [at] numf.org.  If you do not receive an email back acknowledging that your application was received via email, please call us at 402-323-8844.
