The Mustard Seed Foundation's Church-Based Grants program provides seed funding for small startup projects of local churches worldwide, with an average grant size of $5,000 and awards up to $50,000.

Eligible projects fall into three categories: outreach (sharing the gospel with non-Christians), empowerment (generating income and economic opportunities for poorer Christians), and discipleship (equipping Christians to proclaim and demonstrate the gospel). Only local churches may apply — parachurch organizations are ineligible. Applications are accepted year-round, beginning with a Letter of Intent. The Foundation focuses on large urban centers in the U.S. and internationally. Matching funds may be required.
