Mission
2012 Mission Grant Request Forms
Each year, Village Church’s Mission Committee contributes to local community projects. We believe an important part of our mission is to make our community a thriving place for all to live, work and pray.
Projects funded through the Mission Committee should demonstrate a meaningful human
service and minister to those who are least able to help themselves. They should be of a
community nature where it is natural for Village Church to assume a portion of the responsibility. In general, the Mission Committee does not fund requests greater than $5,000.
Projects should meet the following criteria:
- Be local in nature (metropolitan Kansas City)
- Be associated with an organization with 501c(3) status
- Not duplicate services already provided in the same area
- Demonstrate potentially significant impact/outcomes
- Demonstrate cost effectiveness
Preference will be given to projects where the Village Church contribution represents a response to a unique need (rather than providing ongoing core support to the organization).
The Missions Committee Grant Application Review Process:
When the Missions Office receives your application, it is reviewed for completeness. It is then assigned to the first possible month for study by the screening subcommittee. This subcommittee determines if a recommendation for a site visit should be made. If your request is recommended for a site visit, the convener of a small group of two or more committee members will call you to make a site visit appointment. If your agency is chosen for a site visit, we ask that the board president, board representatives and the executive director be available for the first interview. The site team will make a report about your
request and their recommendation about funding to the entire committee.
