2016 Budget Application for Diocesan Program Groups
June 19, 2015
Dear leaders of program groups, committees, or ministries in the Episcopal Diocese of Maine:
Each year at this time, the Diocesan Finance Committee begins its work of preparing a budget for 2016. In order to allocate funds in an appropriate and responsible way to the programs, committees and ministries of the diocese, we have established a granting process specific to Mission Priorities. The process, guidelines and deadline for the application process is below.
Who should apply: As a general guideline, Mission Priorities grants are awarded to established programs with a proven track record. New programs are normally advised to seek funding for the first year of programming under the New Initiatives Grant process.
How to apply: To apply for a Mission Priorities grant, you will need to apply using this survey monkey online application. (Before you begin, you can download this worksheet here http://tinyurl.com/diomebudget2016. Please keep this version for your records, then, return here and copy and paste your answers to the online form.) In order to be fair to all applying, the application deadline will be firm, and late applications will not be considered in this budget cycle. Applications are reviewed by the Mission Priorities Subcommittee of Diocesan Council; and evaluated using the Seven Criteria for Mission established by Convention.
Expectations: Those program groups that receive grants will be expected to use their funds in the budget year for which they are granted. Funding will go to active, functioning program groups. If the program group has not submitted any requests for disbursement of funds from the current budget by the start of the new budget planning cycle, their funding request for the following year is not likely to be considered.
Details: In 2016 the diocesan budget includes approximately $40,000 total for programs. Please keep this limitation in mind as you consider your own request for funds.
The application deadline for Mission Priorities Grants is: 5 p.m. on Friday, July 17, 2015.
Questions: Should you have questions about the grant application please contact The Rev. Nancy Moore at nancylmoore67@gmail.com
Technical questions about the online process should be directed to Teresa Pinney in the Diocesan office.
Faithfully,
The Rev. Nancy Moore, Chair, Mission Priorities Subcommittee
