About the Companions in Mission Travel Grant
The Companions in Mission Committee offers travel grants to assist members of ECCT parishes in mission-related travel to explore or advance mission partnerships. These grants can help defray the costs of either airfare or in-country expenses. Recipients will have to offer in advance proof of costs, detailed estimates, or copies of receipts before any funds are disbursed.
Grants applications can be for:
- Individual Mission Traveler: Up to $1,000 per sponsored mission traveler, limited to one grant per parish per calendar year.
- Youth Mission Trip: For mission trips with three (3) or more youth participants, a sponsoring parish may receive up to $2,500 per parish per calendar year.
Requests take approximately 4-6 weeks after approval to payment/reimbursement.
