The Nebraska United Methodist Foundation awards a limited number of ministry grants to Nebraska Methodist churches and affiliated agencies of the Great Plains United Methodist Conference twice a year. 

Through these awards of grant dollars, we seek to enhance and expand ministries of the United Methodist Church. 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 April and October board meetings. 

The ministry grant program opens twice a year: January 1st with a deadline of March 31st and July 1st with a deadline of September 30th.   To apply, please complete the application and mail it to us or submit via email at kroberts [at] numf.org.  Please contact us at 402-323-8844 if you have any questions about the grant application process.
