- Request must go through the VCF application process. Click on the request a grant application button below to get started.
- One proposal per year, per organization, will be eligible for consideration. No additional proposals should be submitted by an organization currently receiving funding from a multiple-year pledge. Your organization will again be eligible to submit a request when the pledge is completed.
“This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you. He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God, wealthy in every way, so that you can be generous in every way, producing with us great praise to God.”
2 Corinthians 9:10-11 (The Message)
