“God who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your resources and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way for great generosity, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God . . . ”
2 Corinthians 9:10, 11

RLC Foundation Purpose
The purpose of the RLC Foundation is to plant seeds for new ministries that enhance the Lord's work. These seeds are nurtured and grown to maturity by the RLC Congregation. It is expected that the start of these ministries would not be possible within the fiscal limits of the church budgets and supporting normal operational costs are outside our charter.
The RLC Foundation finds joy in its ability to financially assist new ministries to further Christ's kingdom, by awarding grants from income generated by endowment funds. However, we want new ministries to be successful. Therefore, a carefully thought-out plan is required before funding approval. Since the RLC Foundation only provides the initial funding, a plan for continued funding or sustainability is required. Ministries should be designed to strengthen RLC's mission and can act as an outreach to the community.
An application is required for funding. The application will assist you in preparing your request for funding. Please email your application and any questions to our email address at: richlandlutheranfoundation@gmail.com. You will receive notice that we have received your application via the email you provide in this application, and then you will be notified of next steps.
