Kaelke Grant Application
About: Linda Kaelke served as Director of Christian Education for several churches in the NC Synod. Upon her death, she left our synod with an endowment fund. Linda was instrumental in the establishment of LYNC (Lutheran Youth in NC) which is now known as LYO (Lutheran Youth Organization) and she served as the first advisor to that organization. Thanks to Linda’s generosity, many youth groups have benefited from these scholarship funds, used primarily to help fund mission trips.

Congregations may apply for scholarships upto $800. Applications are to be completed by June 1, 2024 Payments will be mailed by June 15th.  If your trip is early June, we can consider your grant prior to the closing 

Grant Guidelines: 
  • No allocations will be made for more than a one-year period. Primary consideration will be for mission trips.
  • Requests for funds to be used in ongoing operating expenses will not be considered.
  • No request will be granted for more than ten percent of that year’s income.

An end-of-year report will be made by September 1 to the Ministry Team as to the progress of the funded ministry and how the grant has facilitated the ministry.
