From the Foundation Staff

As we find ourselves at the beginning of yet another new school year, the Foundation would like to wish the best of luck to all students from preschool to seminary school.

We ask that all of our readers pray for our students, for their safety, and that they may be surrounded by teachers, friends and peers who point them back to Jesus. May God bless each and every one of them! And may God bless YOU!

The Foundation Staff,

Anita, Jackie and Marci

Ministry Grant Applications Now Being Accepted

The Nebraska United Methodist Foundation awards a limited number of small grants to Nebraska churches and affiliated agencies of the Great Plains United Methodist Conference.

Through these awards of grant dollars, we seek to enhance and expand their ministries. The ultimate goal of these awards is to provide assistance whether it be a one-time grant or a grant that will help a ministry become self-sustaining.

These grants are made only for programs and activities - including operating expenses and supplies - necessary for those programs or activities. They are not made for building repair, replacement, or expansion.

Go to the NUMF web site here to learn more and apply. Please review the Ministry Grant Criteria, Information and Application carefully before applying. Application deadline is September 30, 2015.
