Foundation Awards $63K in March Cycle
The Foundation is pleased to announce that $63,000 in grants has been awarded to support 14 impactful ministries throughout the Louisiana Conference in the most recent grant cycle. These grants will fuel a diverse range of projects that meet vital needs in local communities—from feeding the hungry and installing wheelchair ramps, to sponsoring a fundraising workshop for campus ministry and providing much-needed shade for children and teachers on a sun-drenched playground.
Each grant recipient is a testament to the creative and compassionate ways our churches and ministries serve others in Christ’s name. Congratulations to these grant recipients at right.

We’re thrilled to announce the online version of our popular workshop, A New Thing: Dreaming Lab for Innovative Ministry and Grants Writing!
Experience dynamic activities that can be done individually or in groups!
Grant Applications
The United Methodist Foundation of Louisiana Grants Initiative exists to walk beside churches and church-related non-profits in the Louisiana Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church as they develop innovative ways to extend the reach of their ministries.
We want to provide a Path to YES! to those seeking financial support so they can realize their ministry dreams.
The application and award process is designed to ensure that grant funds are used as intended by both the Foundation and the recipient of funds and to monitor the Grant program's effectiveness for future improvements.
