Grants Committee

  • Grants Committee 

    Overview: The Grants Committee awards two primary grants each year to churches or other organizations within the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta (PGA). These are the Youth and Young Adults Grants (YYA) and the Diaconal Ministry Grants which include funding from the Compassion Endowment and Presbyterian Answer to Hunger (P.A.T.H.) funds.  

    Terms of Service: Three-year term (elected), eligible for re-election for a total of two terms/six years. The committee consists of six persons serving in three rotating classes of two each. 

    Meetings: The committee typically meets in May to award YYA grants, and in October to award the Diaconal Ministry Grants. Applications are distributed electronically in advance of these meetings so that committee members can read them before convening. Meetings are scheduled according to the availability of committee members and normally during weekdays.  

    Members of the Grants Committee also serve as part of the Revitalization Funds Committee (RFC), which considers applications for larger Revitalization Grants for PGA churches along with Presbytery staff. There is no set time for these applications, but they are received infrequently. Meetings of the RFC are called as needed.
