HRP Grants

The Hudson River Presbytery offers access to a variety of funding sources to support our churches and ministries. The brief description below is meant to help congregations and members make an initial assessment about which grant might best meet funding needs.

Challenge-to-Change 2.0

The Challenge to Change 2.0 is the result of combining the Challenge-to-Change Grant and the Legacy Fund with the intent to fund projects/programs that align with Hudson River Presbytery's vision and commitment to leadership development, healthy vital communities of faith, and creating/nurturing partnerships.
