A big thank you to Extraordinary Lutheran Ministries (ELM) for their $9,000 grant to Welcome and CLGS for the LGBTQ Homeless Youth Leadership Project.
This Mission grant will fund a ministry that serves LGBTQ homeless youth through empowerment and fostering leadership. This ministry will also bring attention to their issues and bring in people of faith to provide support to LGBTQ youth. Specifically, the grant will allow the Revs. Megan Rohrer and Dawn Roginski to serve this vulnerable population and enable them to encourage those with gifts for ministry to pursue seminary.
ELM Grants
Since 1995,ELM has given away grants each year to support ministry by LGBTQ Lutheran rostered leaders. ELM awarded $62,000 in grants to five ministries in 2011. The grant recipients are selected by the Grants program team, led by Margaret Moreland. Through this program, ELM donors support diverse ministries and congregations led by publicly-identified LGBTQ rostered leaders. ELM donors have given away over $850,000 to ministry since the program began.
