2 History The Virginia and Gordon Palmer Jr. Trust The Virginia and Gordon Palmer Jr. Trust was created in 1999 as a permanent endowment to the American Baptist Foundation, a membership organization supporting the ministries of the American Baptist Home Mission Societies, American Baptist International Ministries and the American Baptist Multi-Region Corporation. The Trust is administered by the Foundation in accordance with legally established guidelines and principles. Summary For this grant cycle, hosted by the American Baptist home Mission Societies, the Virginia and Gordon Palmer Trust of the American Baptist Foundation (VGPTABF) Grant seeks to fund special projects and programs of churches, colleges, universities and institutions related to the American Baptist Churches in the USA. It is to be utilized for programs and projects which are unable to be funded through normal operating budgets. Grant awards will range from $5,000 and $15,000 and will be determined based on need and merit. No more than ten percent (10%) of an awarded grant may be used for salaries or stipends. This Cycle s Theme: Seek Justice: Living and Leaning into Isaiah 1:17 Learn to do good; seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow (NRSV). Our American Baptist family has a profound heritage as a compassionate, engaging and benevolent -- Isaiah 1:17 people. Since 1824, American Baptist Home Mission Societies (ABHMS) has been declaring and heralding the gospel of our Lord. We believe that an important component of the good news is when stewards decide to become a demonstration project for the Kingdom of God by living into and leaning toward justice, especially as they do so for and alongside the marginalized and vulnerable in our society. Among the ABHMS Heroes and Heroines are stewards like: Joanna P. Moore With great personal risk to herself, Joanna responded to the plight of freed slaves in 1863 as she went to minister in the camps, teaching Bible lessons and reading and writing to them.

3 Jitsuo Morikawa Born into a Buddhist family, he learned of Jesus from a Christian neighbor and was called to Christian faith and service to become an evangelist at age sixteen. During World War II, he and his wife were shipped to the Poston Relocation Center in Arizona. Morikawa believed that institutions are capable of evil and must be evangelized. He devoted his ministry to that end, serving as ABHMS Director of Evangelism from 1956 to J. Alfred Smith Sr. While most of America was castigating the Black Panther Party in the 1970 s, Pastor Smith invited its leaders to partner with the Allen Temple Baptist Church to feed people in the Oakland, CA community. By turning towards people with a shared interest rather than against them where they disagreed, Smith and Oakland rescued and reclaimed many Black youth. Several former Black Panthers are current leaders and prominent members of the Allen Temple today. Isabel Crawford - Served with the Kiowa. She not only taught and shared the gospel, but also attended to their medical needs. She inspired the Kiowa Indians to send missionaries to the Hopi. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. - An American Baptist who captured the attention of the world with a dream of equality and justice for all. He proclaimed, I have a dream that one day, every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low. The rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight. And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed. Isaiah 1:17 is a biblical reminder that Jesus public ministry was all about advocacy, engagement and compassion for people in need. Isaiah 1:17 also prompts us to become participants with our Lord in seeking justice for those in our churches and neighborhoods. THEREFORE we are seeking to identify the most intriguing ministry proposals that engage communities of faith as demonstration projects of people seeking justice by living and leaning into Isaiah 1:17. We intend to undergird these projects with AWARDS RANGING BETWEEN $5,000 AND $15,000 and will be determined based on need and merit.

4 The Virginia and Gordon Palmer Jr. Trust Eligibility Guidelines Eligibility Only programs and projects of churches, colleges, universities, and institutions related to the American Baptist Churches (ABC) will be considered. Projects are to benefit existing institutions and their current or special new ministries.

Projects or ministries launched less than twelve months before the submission of a proposal may be considered for funding.
