The Brotherhood Mutual Foundation invites churches to apply for a share of $150,000 given out through its Kingdom Advancing Grant program, which is now available for 2026. The funding is designed to support creative, sustainable programs that connect people to Jesus and inspire replication by other churches.

Churches can apply through Tuesday, March 31, at https://kag.brotherhoodmutual.com. The Granting Council will make final decisions by Friday, July 31. The Granting Council is made up of more than a dozen pastors, administrators, and executive leaders from influential churches and ministries around the country. In addition to funding, some recipients will receive a year of mentorship from members of the Granting Council.

Over the past four years, 28 church programs have received grants, with 10 being awarded last year. Those grants ranged from $2,500 to $35,000. The number of grants awarded each year varies based on the scope and financial need of the projects.

The grants are designed to support church programs or initiatives that are directly overseen by a church based in the continental U.S.; are intended to help build the Kingdom by introducing people to Jesus or strengthening their relationship with Jesus; involve a unique idea that is innovative, creative, and new; can be sustained over time; and can be replicated by other churches.

For an initiative or program to be considered eligible for a Kingdom Advancing Grant, it must be directly overseen by a Christian church that is a tax-exempt charitable organization as described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, is in good standing with the IRS, and is based in the continental U.S.
