Make a difference with Seed grants
Seeds grants were created to increase the capacity of the Raising Up Healthy Women and Girls health initiative to affect the lives of women and girls. These seed grants go to congregational units who are limited by financial resources in moving forward and continuing the work they have started. The second cycle of seed grants opened September 30, with all applications due no later than December 15, 2011. Grants will be made on a rolling basis, beginning October 1. A total of $50,000 is available with a maximum grant to any one unit limited to $1,000.
