Dream Incentive Grant Applications Open

Greetings from the National Office! Thanks so much for your faithful ministry! In Church Ministries, we highly value what takes place in the local church and seek to provide support and assistance to the local church in every possible way. One of those ways is the annual Dream Incentive Grant. This grant is provided through a generous donation from Orchard Alliance, the stewardship and generosity ministry of The Alliance, and comes from outside the Great Commission Fund budget. In the last seven years, 122 churches have received grants totaling $1,474,340. The spiritual impact has been immeasurable.

We are inviting your church to apply for one of these 2023 grants. We want you, your leadership team, and your congregation to dream.

• What is your dream for your church’s impact for Jesus Christ on your community?

• Is there something you’d love to do that you believe might result in people coming to know Jesus, but you simply don’t have the resources?

• Perhaps this is a one-time outreach project or perhaps it is an ongoing ministry.

• It could be something you’ve already started that needs a boost or something you’d like to start.

Grants are available to churches of 300 average weekend worship attendance and under. You
can apply for a grant of up to $25,000 or any amount less than that. This year, we again will be using an online application.

Submitted applications will go to your district superintendent for review and approval. Once your DS completes his application section online, it is automatically sent to our office for review. All applications and DS approvals are due by September 15, 2023. A team at the National Office will consider each grant prayerfully. Grant winners will be announced by December 15, 2023. We can’t wait to hear the dreams that the Lord is stirring in your hearts.
