LIFE Groups lead this endeavor. Here’s the lowdown.
- IDEA - Any individual can propose an idea for
engaging ones neighbors through acts of service or mercy. The idea is
presented to the LIFE Group to further flesh out details.
- APPLICATION – When a LIFE Group has arrived at an idea for a project; a member of the group then submits a grant proposal. This could be the LIFE Group leader or any other member of the group that has been designated.
- REVIEW – The grant committee will meet
to evaluate grant requests. For approved projects, funds will be
distributed upon completion of the project. RECEIPTS REQUIRED. We do not
anticipate many rejections, but some groups may be asked to revise
their requests or to rethink a certain aspect of their idea.
- IMPLEMENT – the grant committee will extend approval to the LIFE Group leader and the group will “get after it”!
- FOLLOW-UP – Upon completion of the project, the designated
project leader submits the following materials to the grant committee:
- Receipts: the LIFE Group will be reimbursed for any project related expenses up to $100.
-
Waiver: In some particular cases, there may be a required
liability waiver that documents permission for work done and permission
to use any records/photos that document the work.
-
Story: Summarize the project either in written, photo, or video
format. The purpose of this will be to share projects with the larger
church body for information and vision building purposes.
- REPEAT – Currently there is no limit to
the number of projects that a particular LIFE Group can initiate and
participate in. Grant proposals will be accepted and approved until
the funds run day, at which time we will faithfully and expectantly ask
God for more funding.
