Only Two More Rounds of Grants Left

Up to ten grants of $500 have been distributed to parish projects four times a year, and by the end of this year, that means approximately $200, 000 will have been made available to helping children thrive. Over my various adventures with Mission Resourcing over the last seven years, I have witnessed many amazing projects encompassing the incredible passion and creativity of adults and children as they have worked together, creating intergenerational bonds and other aspects of what it means to truly prosper.

There are only two more rounds of grants left. Ever! I want to encourage all parishes to dream about the possibilities of helping children live – to flourish in their own development and within their communities.

Who knows? Perhaps children and teenagers could be given the opportunity to attend training and go take living histories from older people in a rest home for the local library or their families or if there were an ugly space or wall in your community, to partner with other churches or community organisations to give your young people the opportunity to paint a mural. Perhaps there is a budding group of youth who would welcome opportunities to develop their creative skills in journalism, or video production and create a report on the huge range of ‘Let the Children Live’ over the last ten years? Or perhaps your group have musical talent who would enjoy musical tuition with a view of providing a pop-up choir at Christmas time at the local mall?

There will only be two more allocations of this grant – in August, and in November and no more than 10 applications will be accepted at each allocation. Don’t miss out, get your application in to me, no later than the 2nd of each of those months at admin@missionresourcing.org.nz

As you send in your applications, don't forget to include a copy of the Parish minutes authorising the initiative.
