Frequently Asked Questions

Can I apply for another grant next year?

We’ve found that it’s best for grantees to focus on doing what they can with the grant they have now. Wait until your current grant ends before starting a new grant proposal.

Can I have an extension? A year isn’t long enough!

We’ve learned that extensions aren’t usually effective for Vital 91ÁÔÆæ, Vital Preaching Grant projects. Stick with your original timeline, and remember: It’s important to begin well, finish well, and finish on time!
