The ELCA is now accepting applications for the 2012 Domestic Hunger Grants. Application deadline is July 15, 2011. Please go to: Domestic Hunger Grants on the ELCA website for additional information and to download an application. Application criteria is provided below.
If your organization received funding in 2011, you must complete and return a program evaluation form by December 1, 2011.
Your proposal should be one that best describes your work and the specifics of this project. It need not be written only for the ELCA, but it should include the total operation budget of the organization, the project budget, the total sources of support being requested, and a history of this activity and its intended longevity.
On the ELCA website you will find language from the 1987 Constituting Convention, outlining the objectives of the World Hunger Program. Also posted are additional guidelines that build upon these five objectives. These documents will give you an idea of the kinds of ministries supported by the World Hunger Program.
