Request for Resources

In order to glorify God, the Christian Outreach Committee of First Presbyterian Church supports missions that serve those in need beyond the church walls.

Guidelines for Resource Requests

Thank you for your interest in connecting with First Presbyterian Church about financial assistance for your organization. First Presbyterian charges its Christian Outreach Committee (“COC”) to consider requests for financial assistance from charitable organizations.

Requests for financial assistance are considered based upon a variety of factors including the specific need to be addressed by the requested support, the organization’s overall mission and objectives, the interest and participation of First Presbyterian members in the work of the charitable organization, and COC’s limited assets. In granting requests for financial assistance, COC prioritizes organizations and requests that sustain or enhance the lives of vulnerable or marginalized people and that enable and empower such individuals to progress in self-development and independence. COC also prioritizes organizations and requests that offer opportunities for our First Presbyterian members to engage meaningfully in the organization’s ministries and mission. Our hope is that our church’s support will be more than merely financial. Finally, we prioritize organizations that are effective in their work and responsible and transparent in their management of financial resources.

If you think your organization and its mission embody these principles, we urge you to apply for support.

Thank you for the work your organization does. We appreciate and pray for all organizations that seek to address the suffering, the injustices, and the many pressing needs that exist in today’s world.
