What good would you do with an extra $2,000?
With the help of the Mission Action Fund, you can see that dream come true. The Mission Action Fund is going to award five donations to nonprofits or individuals in need. Each donation will have a $2,000 limit. We are asking for applications, including:

• Your contact information,
• A short essay about the nonprofit and why it is important,
• Basic budget information and/or how the donation would be used.

It’s that easy! The deadline is June 30, 2025, and donations will be awarded in July. The applications can either be mailed to Grace Lutheran Church, 5201 Urbandale Ave, Des Moines, IA 50310 in care of the Mission Action Fund, or emailed to [email protected]

The Mission Action Fund was established to respond quickly to needs in the immediate neighborhood and beyond (statewide, nationally, and internationally), and not to be used for the congregational budget. This is not a one-time request for applications. Our hope is that this round of donations will lead to increased applications and requests in the future.
