Overview
Between 2001 and 2008 the Project awarded grants to gifted practitioners for projects to strengthen practices in specific communities. These grants supported a broad range of project activities, including seed money for new initiatives. With limited remaining funds, the Project announces a final round of funding to support communities of practice as Christian people educate and form one another in a way of life.
