Foundation’s Lexington UMC Social Justice Grant Program

Applications Now Open!

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. For more information about this grant and to find the application, go to the Foundation’s Grants Ministry page.


For questions and to submit completed applications (in one PDF), contact Rev. Dr. David Abbott dabbott@umfne.org.

Your Ministry Partner.

For more than twenty-five years, the United Methodist Foundation of New England  has served churches, agencies, clergy, and individuals within the New England Conference.

We strengthen the financial capacity of churches and agencies through stewardship services, planned giving resources, socially responsible investment management, loans, capital campaigns and grants.

We equip clergy to be more effective in serving Christ and the church through personal and life planning workshops, consultations, pastoral resources, and leadership development.

We encourage individuals to live and give as faithful trustees of God's generosity through stewardship services and gift planning.
