Submitting a Grant Request:

• Grant requests are accepted annually between January 1st and March 31st.
• EJMP generally restricts grants to one per calendar year to any single entity. EJMP typically does not contribute to religious institutions or houses of worship, “brick and mortar” building campaigns, nor is it positioned to provide grants to individuals regardless of the need or mission.
• If an organization was previously awarded an EJMP grant, then an end-of-year report stating how any prior year’s EJMP funds were allocated must also be submitted prior to any new grant requests being submitted.
• Grant recipient organizations agree to comply with EJMP grant agreements and all applicable state and federal laws at all times. EJMP may initiate follow-up site visits and communications to ensure grants are specifically applied per written agreement between EJMP and recipient organizations. Any grants issued by EJMP are not intended as indicators or guarantees of ongoing or future support.
