Other Granting Funds
Through bequests and outright gifts, generous donors to The United Church of Canada and The United Church of Canada Foundation have provided for the future of church by creating trusts and endowments. These trusts and endowments provide annual grants to support innovative, unique and much needed projects that enable us to live out the New Creed's call to "seek justice", "live with respect in creation" and "love and serve others".
Applications are accepted twice yearly and reviewed in the spring and fall by the Joint Grants Committee of the United Church and Foundation.
