Reach More Hearts
The Kingdom Advancing Grant, offered through the Brotherhood Mutual FoundationSM, supports church teams who, in their God-ordained calling, transform their community in creative, innovative, and collaborative ways.
The grant is designed for a church program or initiative that demonstrates the following:
- Directly overseen by the church.
- Intended to help build the Kingdom by introducing people to Jesus or strengthening their relationship with Jesus.
- Involves a unique idea that's innovative, creative, and new and that other churches are not already doing.
- Sustainable over time.
- Can be replicated by other Christian churches.
The Brotherhood Mutual Foundation awards $150,000 annually, with the average individual grant ranging from $20,000 to $50,000. The number of grants awarded each year will vary, based on the scope and financial need of the projects. In addition, each grant recipient will be paired with an experienced ministry leader who can provide guidance and assistance.
All applicants will be notified whether they received a grant or not in July 2024.
