LIMM is now accepting new grant requests.   Please make sure your proposal meets our focus and mission, and that it will further our goals and extend the ministry of the Gospel.  The goal of this grant is to make known the love of Christ in word and deed by working with local and global partners to share Christ’s healing in medically underserved communities:

  • Projects should have a mission emphasis; used to improve quality of life/health.
  • Link health professionals & other committed workers with those in need.
  • Network with medical mission sending agencies.
  • Educate people about the potential for opportunities for involvement in health and healing ministries. LIMM promotes Community Health Education (CHE).

A grant request may not exceed $10,000 per year. Ninety percent of the grant money should be used for programs.  Funds will be awarded as available.

Grants may only be extended to faith-based organizations, with preference to Lutheran partners.

Preference will be given to organizations requesting assistance for projects regarding underserved or under- represented populations, either domestic or abroad.

Projects should be current and ready for implementation within the year. The statement of purpose (goal) should clearly relate to a demonstrated need and at the conclusion of the project should be demonstrable.

LIMM’s first priority is to assist those seeking to help the greater community at large, rather than specific individuals or families.

Upon receiving your grant application, it will be submitted to the Board of Directors for review.  Grants are chosen by a majority vote of the LIMM Board.  If clarification is needed, the Executive Director will contact you via email or phone.  Expect a response within 60 days of submission date.  Approved grants monies will be distributed upon receipt of a signed grant agreement, which stipulates the terms of grant acceptance.
