CONGREGATIONAL LEARNING GRANT – Individual Application
Please attach a copy of event brochure, course description, etc.
Background
In late 2003, the General Council Executive approved a proposal from the Faith formation and Education Unit to “reshape and reinvest in” continuing education for the denomination. The new plan emphasizes both the individual and community dimensions of learning and acknowledges that different parts of the church take on different roles and responsibilities. In March 2004, Congregational Learning Grants became available for individual grants. Our Conference portion is $9,250. 70% of the funds will be distributed by Conference in the first half of the year and 30% in the second half. (Note: Applications for Congregational Learning Grants for groups/congregations are made directly to the national office). The following criteria apply to individual grant applications in the Conference of Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario.
1.Applications must be submitted prior to the scheduled date of the event.
2.Preference will be given to events sponsored or endorsed by The United Church of Canada.
3.Travel costs will be paid for at the most economical and practical form of transportation. Mileage rate is .39 per kilometer.
4.It is expected that Pastoral Charge or employing unit will make a contribution of at least 1/3 of the cost; personal contribution will be of at least an equal 1/3 amount.
5.The maximum provided by this fund is $300 each per year, per person.
6.It is expected that you will discuss your participation in the event with your employing unit and their signature is required on the form.
7.Extraordinary circumstances may be taken into consideration by the Conference. It is understood that these circumstances are without prejudice and do not serve to set a precedent.
8.The national church would like an evaluation of the results of this educational opportunity. (For example, What did you learn at this event? What knowledge or skills have you gained from this? How will this learning experience affect your leadership? What actions will you take in your ministry as a result of this experience? Please send your comments to the Conference Office. These will be gathered and forwarded with a report to General Council, Faith Formation and Education Unit.
