Palmer Grants Contact: AB Foundation (abfadmin@abc-usa.org) The Virginia and Gordon Palmer, Jr. Trust of the American Baptist Foundation (VGPTABF) was created in 1999 as a permanent endowment to the American Baptist Foundation (ABF), a membership organization supporting the ministries of the American Baptist Home Mission Societies (ABHMS), American Baptist International Ministries (IM) and the American Baptist Multi-Region Corporation (MRC). The Trust is administered by the Foundation in accordance with established guidelines and principles and seeks to American Baptist related ministry and mission. Each year, ABF works with our member partners to determine the theme for each grant cycle. Grants are to be utilized for programs and projects unable to be funded through normal operating budgets. Awards will be determined based upon their adherence to theme objectives as well as need and merit. Our targeted date for the launch of our next cycle will be late Spring/ early Summer. At that time ABC organizations, churches, and related ministries and missions are eligible to apply. Look for press releases about upcoming opportunities.
