Tips for Applicants
As a religious organization with a specific denominational identity, prospective applicants should demonstrate alignment with Community of Christ's mission and values. Contacting the national office or local congregations to understand specific funding priorities would be advisable, as giving appears to flow primarily to internal church operations and affiliated community work.
