Grant Writing for Church Programs

Our church is launching a series of family-focused programs—mentoring, educational classes, and marriage-strengthening workshops—and I need an experienced grant writer who can secure funding to make them possible. The priority is to find U.S. grants that explicitly support programs for parents and whole families; youth or senior components. Here’s what I’m looking for: you will research faith-friendly federal, state, and private foundations, match their criteria to our mission, craft persuasive narratives, compile budgets, gather required attachments, and submit each application on our behalf. I can supply program outlines, impact data, documentation; you’ll steer everything else, from creating a grants calendar to tracking submission deadlines and compliance requirements. Acceptance criteria • Minimum three high-fit grant opportunities identified, with rationale for each • Complete, submission-ready applications for the top prospects, including narratives, budgets, and supporting documents • A brief post-submission report outlining next steps and follow-up dates Familiarity with church or faith-based funding guidelines, SAM.gov, Grants.gov, and common foundation portals is a plus. If you have a record of winning grants for family-oriented initiatives, let’s talk—our families are counting on it.
