Initiative Projects Program
Many groups outside The City Mission hold collections or events to raise money or provide material goods on their own and deliver the proceeds in the form of checks or items to the Mission. All of these efforts are greatly appreciated by the Mission and are recognized in our publications and website as much as possible.
The Initiative Projects Program was developed to help assist such groups in the area of marketing the event. These projects are developed and executed by individuals and groups not employed by the Mission.
The City Mission does not provide financial contributions to these projects. Types of support offered will vary by the event's need and what other projects or events are scheduled in the same time period.
Applying to the Initiative Projects Program
Please send a written description of your event or project to The City Mission as far in advance of the date as possible to maximize the promotional opportunities available.

- Name of event
- Short description of the event or project
- Proposed date(s)
- Anticipated number of attendees/participants
- Contact name and number
- Short description of the organization or your background (if applying as an individual)
- What kind of support would be most helpful (for example, press release, use of logo, including information in our publications, having Mission staff or display materials at the event, Mission brochures, etc.) Please remember that The City Mission cannot provide a cash contribution nor pay for advertising your event or project.
