Grant Request Info
Because of the gifts of AZMN churches to the Cooperative Program, the AZMN is able to provide training, consultation, and financial resources consistent with the Centennial Vision for the facilitating of multiplication of disciples, leaders, and participating churches within the AZMN.
The preferred process for Grant Requests is an equal financial participation between Church, Association, and AZMN on amounts up to $1,500 per request. In the case where the budget is greater than $1,500, the church should provide the balance from its own budget process.
To help the equity of funding for all churches, it is requested that a church limit their total requests to $1,500 per year from the AZMN, though exceptions can be made. Preferences will be given to a Grant Request submitted for an association-wide activity and that reflects the strategy of the association. The association should indicate its financial participation and financial amount requested from the AZMN. The amount requested of the AZMN by an association is not limited but should be in accordance with the shared cost of the event.
A church completes the Grant Request form, enters the projected budget and requests the association and the AZMN to partner up to $500 each.
What can you expect?
The response by the AZMN will be related to how the request reflects the five goals of the Centennial Vision and to available funds at the time of the request. Once a request has been received, you may be contacted for further information. After reviewing your request with the input of your association and or Send Missionary, a decision regarding the approval of the request will be made. Upon receiving funding, a church or association will be expected to return a completed evaluation of their ministry activity to the local association and the AZMN.
