Applications for VBS mini-grants will open on January 27th, thanks to the generosity of a major donor who invested her resources into honoring her family’s legacy through an endowment with the United Methodist Foundation of West Ohio. Grants of $250-$1000 will be available for curriculum materials, supplies, staff costs, or other expenses related to the production of Vacation Bible School programs in West Ohio churches.
Established in 2017 by Ketha Robbins to honor her grandmother and great-grandfather’s deep-rooted faith and love of vacation bible school, the Clara’s Kiddies Jesse’s Vine endowment fund exists to support the work of VBS programs across West Ohio for years to come.
Applications are due by February 28th, with the opportunity to attend a special Zoom seminar on Wednesday, February 5th at 1:00PM, to discuss how to submit a competitive VBS grant application. Additional consideration will be given to those serving rural and underserved communities. Contact Maddy DeWitt at 380-223-9229 or mdewitt@wocumc.org for more information.
