Wheat Ridge Ministries considers major grant requests for new health and wellness ministries sponsored by congregations, agencies and emerging nonprofit organizations. Grant awards range from $5,000 to $50,000 over one to three years. Funds are disbursed in declining amounts (e.g., $25,000 year one; $15,000 year two; $10,000 year three.)

Wheat Ridge Ministries will be accepting Major Grant Concept Papers for the 2010 Fall cycle until July 15, 2010. Awarded grants will be announced by December 1, 2010. The Major Grants program will not be accepting proposals for the 2011 Spring cycle in December, so please plan accordingly. If you are interested in submitting a proposal, please consult the General Grant Proposal Guidelines and the Major Grant Proposal Process.

Questions or requests for assistance in developing a proposal should be directed to the Program Office at grants@wheatridge.org. It is our desire to serve you well as you consider new and creative ways to reach out with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through ministries of Health and Hope!
