  • Your Church writes Letters seeking donations. Use Church letterhead, include the tax exempt number and send to businesses. Your letter should state what your organization is, what you need, how it will be used and who benefits. There are also grants given by Corporations that your Church can apply for.

    All corp. have websites and list a contact person who handles community affairs.

    It can take 6 to 12 months to get a response.

    You must also have fund raising events since many grants require your organization to put up matching funds. If Corporation AA offers you a grant of 10k matching then you need to spend 10k of Church funds.
