The Rocky Mountain Synod
Church in Society Board provides annual awards up to $1000.00 to assist
efforts in this Synod that demonstrate an "inciting to action" of the church in
society. These projects should demonstrate ways of going beyond providing
financial contributions to a charity.
The objective of the award is to provide incentive and support to assist the
church’s efforts and engagement in meeting the needs of society through projects
that involve the members with those being served through ministry. For example,
projects might provide services for persons affected by poverty, homelessness,
hunger, domestic or substance abuse, aging or health related issues. The project
may represent the effort of a single congregation or the co-operative effort of
several congregations, related agencies, or other entities; e.g. Interfaith
Hospitality Network, Refugee Services, etc.
Worshiping communities (e.g. a congregation, campus ministry or other similar
group, or a joint congregational effort) in the Rocky Mountain Synod are invited
to submit a request for financial support from the Rocky Mountain Synod Board
for Church in Society in the form of this Incentive Award.
While all applications addressing the
issues identified above will be considered, priority will be given to those
projects 1) that demonstrate a tie between the church (or other worshiping
community) and the community in which it is located, 2) that are new or
expanded programs, 3) that demonstrate a high degree of congregational
involvement with the benefiting organization or program, 4) in which the
availability of other resources has been evaluated and described in the
application, and 5) for which the applying organization has filed a fully
completed application and answered any material questions from the Board
subsequent to the application submission
