The LCMS Northern Illinois District is mindful of how the COVID-19 pandemic is causing major disruptions to our lives, both in ministry and personally. Because of that, we have extended the deadline for our current endowment grants to May 15, 2020. The Endowment Committee of the LCMS Northern Illinois District (NID) considers requests for grants for all programs consistent with the goals of the NID. Grants may be submitted by NID congregations, schools, preschools, circuits, associations, and Recognized Service Organizations that are listed in the current Lutheran Annual. Print Endowment Grant Application.
Partnership Grants continue to be available and are normally in the range of $1,000 to $5,000 though that is flexible. Their purpose is to assist your ministry organization in accomplishing ministry initiatives consistent with the mission and vision of the district: Filled with living hope in Christ, Confessing, Praising, and Advancing His Kingdom. District staff will partner with you throughout the process of planning and implementing your new initiative. Print Partnership Grant Application.
