Through this bequest a Medical Ministry Fund was established offering grants for "medical services for people in need in the United States".
Applicants may seek a one to three year reducing grant, not to exceed an initial grant of $5,000.00.
Preference is given to Parish Nursing Programs, however, applications that focus on health screening, preventive education, or caregivers support are given favorable consideration.
Opportunity Fund Grants
In 2008, the Opportunity Fund was established by the Synod's Mission Partnership in order for separate entities to come together for a specific project/mission within the Synod of the Pacific. Entities could be two churches, a church and a presbytery, a presbytery and Synod, or any combination as long as one entity is Presbyterian.
