Members of the congregations of the Ohio Conference participated in a United Church of Christ national endowment campaign to secure funds for mission in the future.  Those members who gave generously made possible an Ohio Conference Make a Difference (MAD) Endowment Fund.  2007 is the eighth year that earnings from the Fund have been made available.  

MAD endowment funds available for grants in 2007 total approximately $15,000.  This amount is determined by taking 5% of the rolling average within the total amount of the fund over a three-year period. 

Grants will be divided among applications that address special needs of church leaders, churches, and communities, with no less than 20% and no more than 50% of the annual income from the endowment allocated to each of the three areas.  See grant criteria for details.

Because of the limited amount available for distribution, only applications for $2,500 or less will be considered.
   

In 2007, the Make a Difference Grant Committee received grant requests from 52 different ministries totaling more than $98,000.  $15,000  - all that was available - was awarded to 22 churches and organizations.  Your gift can allow us to 'make a difference' to more people.
