Synod Grants
NOTE: These grants are only for Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)-affiliated organizations that reside within the bounds of the Synod of the Trinity.
The Synod of the Trinity offers several grant opportunities for presbyteries, congregations and individuals in our region. To align your grant request with the correct Synod grant,
Email completed Grant Connection Form to Synod Connections Coordinator Elizabeth Connelly at econnelly@syntrinity.org.
One of the ways we connect your request to the proper grant is by considering which Synod End your grant focus aligns. The Synod’s ends relate to:
- Connecting presbyteries
- Encouraging innovation
- Education and nurture
- Encouraging partnerships
- Nurturing relationships
- Justice and righteousness
Once we have reviewed your Grant Connection Form, we will direct you to the Synod grant that best meets the needs of your grant’s mission.
