Grants to Churches

One of the ministries we provide to churches is awarding grants.

Grant Policy

The following shall be the policy and procedure for awarding grants to churches.

1. The Baptist Foundation of Colorado has "designated accounts" to be used for grants.  Any money remaining in these accounts at the end of the year will be carried over into the next year.

2. Grant money is to be used only for emergency situations.  An emergency is defined as an unexpected event which creates needs, and for which the applicant has insufficient resources.

3. The Loan Committee will be responsible for reviewing and approving grants based solely on need, and shall be authorized to approve grants to the extend of the funds in the designated accounts.

4. If a grant application is received after the finds in the designated accounts have been disbursed, the Loan Committee may make a recommendation to the full Board of Directors to withdraw additional funds to cover the grant.

5. The "mother" church should be first line for emergencies.

6. Grants will only be awarded to Southern Baptist Churches and Ministries.

7. Grants will generally be used for property replacement and/or repair.
