Funds are available for benevolence grants from the trust established under Clause 8 of Mary Baker Eddy’s will. These funds are devoted to the primary purpose of “more effectually promoting and extending the religion of Christian Science as taught by [Mary Baker Eddy].” Examples of some of the types of benevolence available include, but are not limited to, grants to Christian Science branch churches and societies for certain Christian Science lectures, advertising, church repairs, first-time purchase of Reading Room computers, first-time purchase of music keyboards for music at their services, emergency relief, and other activities that meet the criteria of promoting and extending the religion of Christian Science as taught by Mary Baker Eddy.
Applications from branch churches, societies, and other Christian Science-related organizations are welcomed for projects that meet the Clause 8 trust guidelines. For initial inquiries about eligibility and projects, please contact us by email (tuwgrants@csps.com) or telephone (+1-617-450-2000).
