Grant Matching

Every dollar we raise for the pastor grants fund will be matched dollar-for-dollar by Lilly Endowment (up to $600,000). Our goal is to maximize the match so we bless as many pastors in need as possible! If you're interested in helping us reach our goal, please consider contributing to the Ministerial Excellence Fund. Visit Donate.

I might be interested in helping:

(check all that apply)

with customer service activities, like follow-ups calls or responding to website inquiries

administrative tasks because I’m a good organizer

administrative tasks because I’m good with computers (documents like Word, Excel) or database management

pastors who may need additional user tech support (not a tech professional)

with the fundraising campaign to secure match funding for the grant fund

to create and/or maintain a list of professional experts who will directly serve pastors (presenters, hands-on coaches, service providers)

pastors and others navigate the online hub of resources being built (serving sort of like a librarian)

coordinating onsite activities (Lead Well will likely operate a hybrid model with online providers that will need on-the-ground support)

specifically help my pastor and would like to be plugged into a network of folks who also want to support their pastor’s success.

to facilitate groups, likely small peer groups that could be online or in-person

with compliance, policies, processes and/or documents (planning, writing, reviewing, editing or serving in some other administrative capacity)

to design and/or manage interactive learning activities for everyone because I bring the fun

with social media support for the purposes of promoting, recruiting, engaging, and fundraising on behalf of Lead Well

with writing
