The Betty & Frank Evans Mission Fund was established by a generous endowment gift to Christ UMC from the estate of Betty and Frank Evans. The Evans were generous members of the Christ UMC congregation for many years and gave sacrificially to God and the Church from their gratitude for his blessings. They have entrusted the church leadership to direct their funds responsibly.

This fund is offered in the form of grants not to exceed $5,000 to organizations with a relationship to Christ UMC and must serve individuals in need within the Middle Tennessee Greater Nashville area and focus on one or more of the following areas:

- Poverty Homelessness

- Hunger

- Human Development

- Social Justice

Thank you for your interest in applying for the Evans Fund grant.

Grant recipients will be notified later this year.
