Faith Foundation Northwest is thrilled to announce a new mini-grant program, through which faith communities in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington are eligible to apply for $1,000-$3,000 of unrestricted funding to help them carry out their missions. Applications are due September 30, 2024.
We often get asked which type of pledge campaign we recommend. There are a lot of options, and one size doesn’t fit all. The D-I-Y approach costs the least money but requires a huge investment of time and energy to be successful. Buying a book and following the program requires the least time and energy. Hiring an outside consultant comes with the highest price tag, but can produce excellent results if leadership devotes significant time and energy to following the recommendations. Read on our top resource picks for each of these three types of pledge campaigns.
Faith Foundation Northwest is excited to announce its upcoming 2024 Summer Board Retreat, set to take place at Lazy F, a UMC Camp in Ellensburg, WA, from August 7-9. The retreat promises a blend of productive meetings, enriching sessions, and engaging activities, in the theme of the Summer Olympics for board members, staff, families, and friends.
Faith Foundation Northwest has been selected by the Washington State Department of Commerce to receive a $519,300 grant through the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates Program. This funding will allow several dozen Washington churches to install heat pumps in their parsonages at no cost.
To qualify, the gross family income of parsonage occupants must be at or below the 2024 Area Median Income as defined by the Department of Housing and Urban development. Funding will be prioritized to benefit households with the lowest income and/or most vulnerable populations, along with those located in communities that are disproportionately impacted by climate change.
