BENEVOLENCE
We believe part of the mission of the church is enacting love in our community. We also know throughout our community are dedicated individuals, nonprofits and organizations who are working to serve, advocate, uplift and empower people from all walks of life. Plymouth is dedicated to supporting their work which aligns with our faith covenants of working for peace rooted in liberation and justice for all people, full affirmation and inclusion of LBGTQ+ persons in the life of the church, practicing good environmental stewardship of our planet, and outreach to our world that is "intensely local, and intentionally global."

In 2025, Plymouth Benevolence Grants distributed
$105,118
Each year, Plymouth members pledge their time, talents and treasure to support this work. Through their commitments, we are able to provide Benevolence Grants to partner organizations working in our community.
We encourage organizations to apply!
The Benevolence Committee provides funding of up to $2,000 for programs, equipment, or other items needed to implement your agency’s mission. Given the small dollar value of these grants, preference will be given to requests for specific expenditures rather than support for general operations.
The church also offers an annual Capacity Building Grant. This is a one-time grant of $20,000 which should permanently impact and improve the agency’s ability to carry on its mission while supporting Plymouth Church’s four basic covenants as stated above. One of these types of grants will be allocated in 2026. Please remember if you have been granted a Capacity Building Grant before you are not eligible to apply again. Plymouth Church is happy to be able to provide these grants with the generous support of our local congregation.
