RESPONSE TO ECONOMIC INTERRUPTION

In support of local efforts, The Principle Foundation staff is working from home. We have adapted our grant procedures to better facilitate the process.

How to Apply for a Grant

The application process for a Disaster Relief (Economic Interruption) grant is as follows:

How to Help

The Principle Foundation is making its Disaster Relief Fund available to address this unusual economic situation.

To help us wisely manage the resources entrusted to us, Disaster Relief moneys not used for this specific purpose may be moved into the General Fund after two years so that they may be used to assist Christian Scientists with other needs.
