Grant applications for Presbytery's Self-Development of People (SDOP) funds for 2010 are now being received. Size of grants range from any amount needed up to around $10,000, and usually average near $5,000. (CFP SDOP currently has 3 or 4 grants available for $3,000 or $4,000 each.) Grants address long-term conditions that keep people bound by poverty or oppression. If you know of a worthy self-directed group in your community that may qualify, please contact the Presbytery Office. The grant application (domestic application), criteria for funding and other helpful information may be accessed from the national SDOP website: www.pcusa.org/sdop
Suggestions are provided for downloading the application for completing offline. The application is offered for download in either English or Spanish and in either Word or pdf file format. Completed applications should then be forwarded to Central Florida Presbytery. Please contact Rev. Dr. Paige McRight or any member of Presbytery's SDOP subteam if you have questions or need further assistance.
