This grant is offered to congregations and other conference entities (such as, but not limited to, church camps and district offices) to support an accessibility or ministry project, either at the beginning of the effort to raise the necessary funds or to finish up a fundraising effort that has fallen short. It is not intended to be a sole source of funding.
For all building projects, please consult with an architect and/or contractor that has experience in church work and who is well-versed in the ADA requirements.
Please read the application carefully. Requests will not be considered until planning is complete. Applications that are incomplete by the deadline of October 1 will, upon request, be considered the following year.
Applications will be accepted from August 15 to October 1, 2019 only.
Please note that a report of the completed project is required. This helps us to publicize and fundraise so that we will be able to help more congregations in the future. If a report is not received, the funds received must be returned.
For any questions or to request a site visit or additional assistance, please email Sharon McCart, DisAbility Ministries Task Force Chair, at disability@calpacumc.org.
Thank you for your desire to help people with disabilities belong to your church!
