2025 Communities in Action Grant

This year, the ABCNJ Communities in Action grant will focus on “Embracing Community” and showing love to immigrant families. “Embracing Community” will assist our congregations and leaders create a welcoming and supportive environment for immigrant families through a multifaceted approach. This grant aims to equip churches with essential resources that address the unique challenges immigrant families face.

Applicants are encouraged to propose programs that encourage congregations to establish new partnerships with local organizations, businesses, healthcare providers, educators, and legal advisors who support immigrant families. Additionally, we urge congregations to work together with local schools to ensure that the children of immigrant families receive the necessary academic and emotional support to flourish in their new environment.

We are excited to see the innovative and impactful ways you will engage with doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with the immigrant families in your community. Your unique perspective and ideas can help us profoundly impact immigrant families by providing an opportunity to thrive, not just survive.

Completed applications must be submitted by June 23, 2025.
