The Testimonies Fund was created by Yearly Meeting in 2008. The founding capital came from untagged legacies held by Yearly Meeting plus surpluses from previous years.
The fund enables Friends to put Testimonies (peace, simplicity, equality, integrity, sustainability) and religious witness into action.
We are particularly interested in projects which focus on problem solving, preferably addressing root causes rather than quick fixes.
Friends are encouraged to make donations and bequeath legacies to the fund.
Grants have varied from $300 to $23,000 with most grants being under $5,000.
