St. Paul’s Family Resources Foundation
Heritage Grants
2012 Announcement
St. Paul's Family Resources Foundation wishes to announce that Heritage Grants will not be available in 2012 due in part to the state of the economy. During this break, we plan to evaluate the program to determine our successes and how better to focus our grant-giving. Please return to this site in June of 2012 to learn more about the 2013 Heritage Grants.
Introduction
Mission
To encourage and support UCC churches to begin new programs or substantially strengthen existing programs that improve the lives of seniors in their communities or support the families and others who care for them.
History
St. Paul's Church Home was founded in 1924 as a ministry of St. Paul's Evangelical and Reformed Church (now St. Paul's United Church of Christ). St. Paul's Family Resources Foundation was established in 1981 to support the Church Home and, subsequently, Oak Meadows Senior Housing which opened in 1998. The Church Home was closed in 2006. The Foundation, which is now independent from St. Paul's UCC, wishes to honor the organization's history and its longstanding mission of serving seniors through the sponsorship of the Heritage Grants.
Heritage Grants
Grants will be awarded to selected Minnesota churches of the United Church of Christ, with a maximum of $10,000 to any individual church. To be supported, a project must improve the lives of seniors or support the families and others who care for them. The project can involve other churches or organizations but the applying church must be the primary administrator of the program. We expect programs to work toward becoming self-sustaining. Proposals for grants to fund ongoing operational expenses will not be considered. Preference will be given to programs intended to meet ongoing needs on a continuing basis.
