To encourage leaders and congregations to lean into the Tennessee-Western Kentucky Conference’s Discipleship Priority of Disrupting & Dismantling Racism & Discrimination, the TWK Anti-Racism Coalition is offering grants to United Methodist local churches, ministry teams, small groups, Sunday School Classes, youth groups, and Campus Ministries for Racial Justice / Racial Healing initiatives.

Grants are available for up to $500 (additional funds can be made available on a case-by-case basis).

Grants could include funding for small group studies on race and racism, including Signposts Groups; establishing a Race and Faith Team in your Local Church; speakers and events related to racial justice, anti-racism, or racial healing; pilgrimages and activities exploring the history of racism in the church and local Civil Rights history.

You are encouraged to use your creative and imaginative skills to develop an Ant-Racism initiative relevant to your local context.

Grants will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. To apply, complete this online form. There is a place to upload photos and documents as needed.
