Instructions:
Please read all instructions very carefully.
The Application Form may be saved to your computer and completed on your computer. Please fill in the blank shaded areas. You may tab from one space to the next. If you have trouble with this form, please contact Virginia Tinsley. You may also print out a copy of the application and fill it in by hand or typewriter. We will still need 52 copies of the Application Form and the Project Narrative, printed on letter-sized paper, front and back.
Be sure that you understand the type of grant that fits your application purpose. Do not try to apply in a category that does not fit the purpose of your application in an attempt to get more money. Do not ask for more than the maximum for the appropriate category.
All applicants must submit an "Endorsing Church Form" from a United Methodist Church. If a United Methodist Church is applying, the applicant church should fill out this form as the endorsing church.
Applications will be due to the Housing & Homeless Council office on Tuesday, September 2 by 3:00 p.m. No late applications will be considered. Please note that our offices are in the United Methodist Center on the campus of The Lodge at Simpsonwood in Norcross. If you mail your application, please do not require signature confirmation. If you hand-deliver your application, please use these Directions rather than Mapquest. Everyone who uses Mapquest gets lost!
The following must be included for an application to be complete:
52 two-sided copies of Grant Application and Project Narrative (This means that on each of the 52 pieces of paper, the Grant application form is copied on one side and the Project Narrative is copied on the other side. Please do not attach anything to these copies!
3 copies of the Endorsing Church Form.
Please include two sets of the following (collated):

The District Superintendent
There are 12 districts, each with a district superintendent, in the North Georgia Conference of The United Methodist Church. Please contact the district superintendent of your area and confer with him/her regarding this application since he/she will be asked to evaluate your grant request. If you do not know the name of the district or the district superintendent, please check with your endorsing church, and they will provide the information. Unless you have talked with the district superintendent about this specific grant application, your grant application will not be considered for funding. We will ask the District Superintendent if you contacted him/her. If he/she says no, you will not receive a grant.
If you have any questions, contact Rev. Virginia Tinsley, 678-533-1379 or director@nghhc.org.
