Supports new, collaborative and adaptive ministries benefiting communities around the presbytery’s churches, with requests up to $15,000.

An existing initiative must explain what is new in its proposal; the form requests an endorsement from the congregation’s or partnering church’s clerk of Session.

You’ll need

  • Our note: Ask the Commission on Resources and Creative Ministries about the next spring cycle before using the current form; prepare the endorsement, ministry narrative and itemized income/expense budget.
  • The form requires the proposed budget, congregation contribution, other funding partners and a financial-sustainability plan.

Watch for

  • The advertised 2026 deadline was July 2026 and has passed; the still-visible form does not establish an open round.
  • Not confirmed: a complete list of disallowed costs or eligibility for organizations without a Presbytery of Philadelphia church partner.
  • Not confirmed: a minimum cash contribution, matching percentage or application fee.
  • Application page and full public form read; page states July 2026 without a day. No next-cycle announcement or separate eligibility guidelines reviewed.
