Each year, UMCRM honors the legacy of the Rev. Solomon Graydon Cramer by awarding grants to United Methodist-affiliated camp programs. This annual source of grants provides camperships and seed funding for creative new United Methodist camp initiatives with focus on one or more of these priorities:
- Ministering with young people living in poverty
- Developing young people as spiritual leaders
- Collaborating with congregations and Annual Conferences
- Expanding opportunities for leadership by young people from underserved racial groups or ethnic populations
Last year, $38K was distributed among 16 United Methodist camp ministries with grants ranging from $1K to $3500. Learn more about 2024 funded grant projects. Applications will be received for 2025 grants through Friday, March 28th. Apply now
