NOTE:

  • Media Project grants are considered only after Hefferlin responds to Education Committee Grants, and grants from the Church Grants committee.
  • All electronic media applications including streaming video and audio, distance learning and equipment from churches and centers are considered by the Media Committee only and not Church Grants. Make sure you make your application to Media and not Church Grants.
  • The Foundation accepts applicationsonly from affiliates of Centers for Spiritual Living, Golden, CO.
  • The Foundation does not award grants for the purpose of salaries or equivalents.
  • The Foundation does not presently support the creation of musical CDs.
  • The Foundation does not support general website development unrelated to Science of Mind instruction.
  • Media grants account for a modest portion of the total grants, with individual grants typically under $5000.

The Media Committee prefers to work in partnership with grantees and looks especially favorably on applications that demonstrate fundraising and other sources of support beyond what may be provided by the Hefferlin Foundation. Accordingly, we are willing to consider matching grant possibilities, whereby the grantee raises a dollar amount which is then matched by the Foundation.
