How Grants are Awarded





  • Faith-based, non-profit organizations may submit grant applications on-line or by mail in early September.
  • A five member volunteer committee reads and selects the 5 best applications to present to the entire PowerSurge100 members for their review and vote at the annual meeting.
  • One representative from each of the 5 finalist organizations will make a 10 minute presentation at the annual meeting.
  • Each PowerSurge100 member casts one vote at the annual meeting or by absentee ballot if unable to attend.
  • The votes are tabulated and one deserving faith-based organization becomes a PowerSurge100 grant winner by a pluraity of votes cast.
  • Grants are awarded to the winning organization within one month after the winning ballot is tabulated at the annual meeting. This is done at a special ceremony in which all members are invited.
