General Eligibility Requirements

Wheat Ridge seeks to promote new and innovative ideas within the area of health and wellness, encompassing a broad range of potential projects, as illustrated in The Wholeness Wheel.

However, the following projects typically fall outside of our mission and goals:

  • Capital improvement projects;
  • Fundraising campaigns;
  • Funding for programs in existence over 3 years;
  • Event sponsorship; and
  • Funding to an individual, i.e. scholarships.

In addition, these organizations are not eligible for grant funding:

  • Ministry projects lacking Lutheran involvement;
  • For-profit organizations or companies; and
  • Current Wheat Ridge grant recipients (grantees who have not submitted their final report).

Congregations and organizations may submit only one proposal per grant program during a grant cycle.

Incomplete proposals may be eliminated from consideration for grant funding.

Where any specific grant program’s eligibility requirements conflict with these general rules, the specific program’s requirements shall control.
