Micro and Meaningful Grants
What are micro and meaningful grants? These are for moments that nourish. Women in ministry in the Church of the Brethren may apply for a grant of up to $200 once a year.
Endless possible nourishing uses:
Dinner at a long dreamed of restaurant
Clergy stole or clergy shirt to wear for public vigils and demonstrations when clergy visibility is important
Preaching shoes that are stylish and comfortable
A fresh suit/dress/cardigan for formal professional functions
A piece of art
A night in an airbnb
Live concert tickets
Massage, spa day, pedicure
Freedom to liberate a bill that has been hanging over your head
You get the idea
The application process is a reflective one. You are not convincing us, you are articulating to yourself what you need for nourishment.
Everyone who applies will receive what you’ve asked for (up to $200). So, what do you need to tell yourself?
We know that this won’t buy health insurance, or tip your compensation toward scale. It is more like a flash shower in summer heat, a raindrop that can water a marigold to bloom, a sigh of relief, the feeling of being seen and valued.
You are seen and valued, By women in ministry for women in ministry.
