Subject: Application for Hunger Grant

To all who are considering applying for the New Hope Presbytery Hunger Grant:

We are glad that you will be applying for one of our historic grants for the upcoming year. Many of you have been receiving support from the presbytery for a long time. We are grateful to be partners in your important ministries.

We are asking that all grant applicants (new and returning) to submit a concise and complete application which outlines your organization’s operations, accomplishments, goals for the coming year, etc. Information such as, “Most of our information is the same from the previous year.” will be considered insufficient. The Team is also recommending that the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) congregation (or other ecclesiastical body) which endorses your application use our form to describe how they are currently involved and present in your ministry.

If you are a returning grant applicant, you must also fill out the Accountability Report. This allows the team to see how last year’s funds were used, and how your ministry is going. Please note that 1 to 3 recent digital photos representative of your recent ministry are now required with your application. There is a field in the form for you to upload your digital photos.

Our partnership in the application process permits us all to serve as faithful stewards of the special offering funds which support the New Hope Presbytery Hunger Fund Grants.

Please note that prior to completing this application, you must download the “Session Endorsement” document and have it completed and signed. There is a field within the form to upload the completed and signed form.

Thank you for your attentiveness to detail and working to alleviate hunger in our communities and region.

The deadline for grant applications is Friday, August 21, 2026.
