Seeds
of Hope grants of up to $2500 are available to congregations and
diocesan groups to begin or expand for social and economic justice
causes. In the past, the grants have helped fund a variety of
ministries across the diocese such as launching food pantries, providing
programming for seniors, creating empowerment, health, and educational
activities for inner-city and rural youth, job training programs, and
many more. The August 1 deadline for 2015 has been extended to Aug. 15.
Grants will be awarded in September. Applications and more information
can be found here. Contact The Rev. Canon Jeunée Godsey for more information, 434-603-1782 or JGodsey@diosova.org.
