Apply for Funding
The Spirit & Truth Benevolent Fund welcomes applications from ministries and nonprofit organizations that are seeking funding support, consulting, operational planning assistance, or strategic partnership. Whether you are launching a new initiative, stabilizing existing operations, or looking to expand your community impact, we want to hear from you.
Before beginning your application, please have the following information ready: a brief description of your organization's mission, your current operational stage, a summary of the funding need or support requested, and any relevant documentation about your organization's structure and programs. The more context you provide, the better we can evaluate how to partner with you.
