Since 2011, Paragould FUMC designates all $1 offerings to be used in support of local nonprofits via the “Dollar Per Week” Grant Program. Paragould FUMC seeks to support community partners as we work together for the common good.
Paragould FUMC seeks applications from non-profit organizations that are making a difference in our community. These grants will go to organizations in support of funding a particular project outside of the organization’s annual budget. Our hope is that this grant supports a project that would not otherwise be possible. We hope this grant makes a particular and significant difference in your non-profit!
