Serving Neighbors Through Congregational Collaborations Initiative has two complementary aims: 1) to enhance the quality of life of individuals and families by encouraging stronger collaborations in local communities between Christian congregations and charitable organizations and 2) to deepen the faith and enhance the vitality of congregations to practice their faith through acts of love and care for their neighbors. The Endowment anticipates awarding grants of up to $5 million each to up to 60 charitable organizations to develop and implement programs that advance the aims stated above and the four objectives outlined in the Request for Concept Papers. Invited organizations can submit proposals for up to $5 million that may be used for a four-year period.
