The Violet’s Garden Task Force is now accepting grant applications. This is a grant program designed to further the spiritual development of children and youth at the local-church level.

Grants are awarded twice per year, in May and November, and congregations can apply for up to $2,000 for these non-recurring, start-up grants. 

The application deadline for this round is May 1.

Violet's Garden grants are made possible from donations by congregations and individuals to Conference Advance #3075.

These grants were established in 2008 as an expression of appreciation for Bishop Violet L. Fisher's compassion for children and youth.
