MISSION ENGAGEMENT
Green Church Mini Grants
Is your church trying to do its part to care for God’s creation? We can help! East Ohio’s Green Church Mini Grants provide limited funding for a church's "green" projects such as recycling or composting programs; native plants for a pollinator garden; an Earth Day event; or installing energy efficient light bulbs. To receive funding, churches must sign the Green Church Pledge and complete a sustainability audit (both will be provided). Each grant will supply $100 to $750 for a green project in 2027, and recipients will be asked to submit a grant report. As part of the new Ignite Ohio Grants, applications must be received between now and October 31. Please use the Ignite Ohio Grant application found on the link below and select the East Ohio Ignite Grant.
