Fill out and submit a Grant Application. (Grant Applications can be downloaded below or completed online)

Submit financial statements for the previous two years of ministry.
Submit a Grant Proposal. Potential partners will explain how their organization and initiatives align with Concentric's mission. Grant Proposals should contain a complete description of the proposed project for which funding is requested, including full information on the planned use of funding and the anticipated impact to the ministry constituency, community, and/or world. Anticipated impact should be as specific and measurable as possible.
Begin organizational vetting period. Concentric trustees will initiate a formal vetting period in which potential partner organizations will be personally interviewed.
