Internal Grant Program

Internal Grant Program

Overview: The Internal Grant Program allows The Cause partners to access funding for innovative ministry projects while donors participate directly in funding decisions.

How It Works

The program operates through a four-step process: 1. Donate - Donors contribute funds to support partner projects 2. Apply - Partners submit formal applications with budget and strategic plans 3. Award - The Cause staff presents finalists to donors, who decide which projects receive funding 4. Mentor - Partners are paired with managerial coaches for sustainability and excellence
