Faith Based Grants
The U.S Government makes faith based grants available to Organizations, Institutions, Companies and select private parties. These grants can be for a wide range of subjects, but mostly they are to improve living conditions of local citizens within reach of the entity applying for the grant. For years, churches have played a vital role in assisting people in need. Unfortunately, many churches do not qualify for faith based grants because they do not have a separate 501(c)(3) organization. In order to obtain these much needed funds, the Churches need to learn how to apply for this designation. The U.S. Government makes information available that shows step by step how to obtain a 501(c)(3) status.
If you Church has a Ministry helping local citizens, then it may be worth the effort and time to look into obtaining your Non Profit status from the IRS so that your Church is eligible to apply for faith based grants.
