This is the final round of a three-year United Thank Offering grant focus on areas of ministry based on Matthew 25:31-46. The 2025 grant focus is water, based on Jesus’ words, “I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink.” The grants are designed to fund projects that increase water awareness and that address water issues, water needs of unhoused people, and health issues related to water quality.

The 2023 and 2024 United Thank Offering grants supported 42 projects related to the worldwide incarceration crisis and welcoming “the stranger.”
