Grant Guidelines, Application
The NT-NL Mission Endowment Fund seeks to support mission projects in the Northern Texas-Northern Louisiana Synod. It works much like a foundation: an endowment fund serves as its core; the principal is invested and only the income from the investment is expended annually to benefit special causes that might otherwise go unfunded and unrealized. Read the MEF’s 2017 Grant Guidelines here. Download the application here. Deadline: October 31.
