On This Page
Grants can be an excellent way to fund community outreach and innovative ministries. Consideration must be given the church can align with the grant provider without compromising beliefs and core values. To assist churches with grants we have the following resources and information.
Grant Writing Course
This 4-session online course will provide you with the tools you need to confidently write private and government funded grant proposals giving you the lead-time you need to bring the ministry or program to life. By streamlining your planning process, you will lay a solid foundation to become a completely self-sustaining ministry in the future.
Please note: this access can ONLY be used for church searches and not for any individual/non-church purposes. MULTIPLE PEOPLE CAN USE THIS ACCESS BUT ONLY FOR CHURCH PURPOSES.
Grant Connect
The FMCIC offers local churches shared access to Grant Connect—Imagine Canada’s database linking charities to Canadian and international foundations, corporations, and government grants. To maintain this subscription, churches must use the platform strictly for official church business.
Please Note: In order to gain access to our Grant Connect account, you will need to contact the Director of Generosity for account keys and password.
Government Grants
Applying for Government of Canada Grants is now entirely digital through the Grants and Contributions Online Services (GCOS) portal. In order to view or apply, your church will need a Grants and Contributions Online Services (GCOS) account. If you do not have a GCOS account, you can register for GCOS today to view or submit applications for posted grants.
