The Lexington UMC Social Justice (LUMCSJ) Fund grant program through the United Methodist Foundation of New England supports programs that promote and enhance the dignity and welfare of people in unjust circumstances, seek to give voice to the silenced, offer support for those who can be invisible to society, and address underlying systemic inequities and causes of injustice.
This grant program is open to groups within, and beyond, the United Methodist Church. Grants of up to $2,500 are available. Completed applications (in one PDF) must be submitted before 5:00pm on November 15th. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
