Call for Grants
The District LWML is issuing the first Call for Mission Grant Proposals for the 2026-2028 Biennium. This process calls for every member to prayerfully consider how you can support and connect people to this opportunity. Be thinking of who or what programs around you could benefit from a LWML Mission Grant and share this information.
What is the District’s Criteria?
● Have a mission emphasis, extending the ministry of the Word
● Fit into the plans & projects of the LCMS and be approved by the appropriate synodical district
● Be current and ready for implementation
● Be well documented
● Be assured and continued maintenance
How do I begin?
● Obtain a copy of the Mission Grant Application form from either your society president, our web site, or VP of
Gospel Outreach.

What happens to the Grant after it reaches the VP of Gospel Outreach?
● A committee meets, consisting of the VP of Gospel Outreach as Chairman and four additional members, one from
each zone appointed by the Zone President. They review the applications and submit their selections to the
District Board for the approval and inclusion on the ballot at the convention.
And lastly, who can submit Mission Grant Applications?
● Individuals, societies, zones and any LCMS entities
● So ladies, please prayerfully consider who you would like to give an application form to. All societies will be

helping to spread the Word throughout the world! PRAISE GOD!
