Why It Matters

Mission trips, volunteer projects, and service efforts can change lives in profound ways. The Leave Your Mark Grant was created to support individuals and organizations who are serving others, expanding outreach, and making a lasting impact in their communities and around the world.

This grant contest offers meaningful support for people and groups already doing important mission and service work.

Past Leave Your Mark winners have used grant support to continue their outreach, strengthen their service efforts, and extend their impact. Their stories are a reminder that one opportunity can help fuel lasting change.

Your story matters. Your mission matters. Leave your mark.
