Lilly Endowment seeking proposals to fund programs that help parents, caregivers share faith

The Lilly Endowment is seeking proposals for the Christian Parenting and Caregiving Initiative, an effort to help interested parents and caregivers share their faith and values with their children. The application deadline is Feb. 13, 2023.

Eligible charitable organizations located in the United States may submit proposals to create new or enhance existing programs that advance one or both of the following objectives:

  • Supporting congregations (especially pastors, children and youth ministry staff and congregational volunteer leaders) and other Christian organizations by developing and providing resources, programs and educational opportunities that will create and/or strengthen ministries to help interested parents and caregivers share their Christian faith and values with their children.
  • Supporting Christian parents and caregivers by developing and providing resources and programs to help them learn, adapt and embrace time-honored practices to share their Christian faith and values with their children.

Eligible organizations may submit proposals for up to $1.25 million that may be used for up to a five-year period to plan and implement their programs. The Endowment anticipates awarding approximately 60 grants to charitable organizations that submit the most promising and compelling proposals.

Eligibility

Charitable organizations located in the United States with Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3) and public charity status are eligible to apply. The Endowment is especially interested in proposals from theological schools, colleges and universities, church resourcing agencies, publishing houses, national and regional denominational judicatories, camps and retreat centers, and other religious organizations.

Letters of interest and an interest form are not required at this time to submit a proposal. Eligible charitable organizations may submit complete proposals through the online Christian Parenting Initiative Application Form.

The Birmingham-based student ministry Passport Inc. announced Jan. 11 that it had received a $1 million grant from the Lilly Endowment to support The Growing Faith Initiative, which offers digital resources, engagement opportunities and accessible spiritual activities to families with youth and children.

In March of 2022, Passport received a $50,000 planning grant from Lilly Endowment to explore projects that may help families with faith formation. Passport was awarded the second grant to implement the projects identified in the planning process, including the daily devotional site, d365.org, offering families additional resources and engagement opportunities. The overarching goal of the Growing Faith Initiative is to provide parents with tools and resources for casual faith conversations that can be woven into everyday life, according to a statement released by Passport Inc.

More information on grant opportunities through the Lilly Endowment is available here and here and by email at christianparenting@lei.org.
