  2. Not-for-Profit organizations
  3. Projects sponsored by Christian organizations.
  
  
• Funding may not be requested for:
  
  1. Capital campaigns
  2. Ongoing building projects

• No grant may be made for the direct benefit of Christ Church Greenwich or to provide any portion of the parish budget.
• Grants may be approved for projects that are also current or former beneficiaries of other Christ Church Greenwich Outreach efforts.
• It is helpful, although not necessary, to have a Christ Church Greenwich member as a liaison to present an application to the Outreach Foundation or the Outreach Commission Board.
• Funding may be requested for only one year per application.
• A grant recipient will be required to give written accounting of the use of the grant funds within one year of its receipt of them and to return any unexpended funds to the Outreach Foundation or Outreach Commission.
  This information is used not only for record keeping, but most importantly, to share with ChristChurch members news about the way their generous giving is being used to reach out to others.
• It is required that each grant-recipient-organization certify in writing that its policies reflected both the letter
  and the spirit of a non-denomination policy (see #5 on the application form).
