Youth Service Fund (YSF)

YSF 2020 Grant Application

How does it work?

The missions team reviews all the project grant applications at their spring meeting, and proposes a budget at Youth Annual Conference in June. Upon approval, the ministries receive monies in July of that year.

Where does the money come from?

YOU! The largest form of funding comes from benevolent giving from the local churches. In addition, the YSF committee has fund raising activities including the sale of merchandise at special events like Youth Annual Conference. YSF Contribution Form.

What can you do?

Plan regular fundraisers for YSF in your church. 

Challenge your youth group to give a Biblical tithe (10%) of the money they raise for their own activities to YSF.

Encourage individual youth to pledge. Did you know that if every United Methodist teenager across the nation gave 50 cents to YSF every 3 months, we would raise $1,500,000 from that source alone!
