Engagement Grant Application
Applicants who are interested in organizing and supporting Get Out the Vote (GOTV) efforts in their congregation and community this fall may apply for a Georgia Interfaith Power & Light (GIPL) grant of $500 or $1,000 to support their work. This micro-grant aims to bolster faith communities' capacity to engage in GOTV efforts and to provide funding for congregations' general sustainability operations.
GIPL GOTV Grants will be awarded based on the number of different volunteers your congregation or Green Team commits to turn out over the GOTV season. What counts is unique people, each completing at least one volunteer shift. More volunteers and more shifts are always welcome; the numbers below are the minimums to qualify.
$500 tier — At least 2 unique volunteers from your congregation, each completing at least one GOTV volunteer shift.
$1,000 tier — At least 4 unique volunteers from your congregation, each completing at least one GOTV volunteer shift.
The application period runs from Sept. 3, 2026 to Oct. 3, 2026. Awards will be made on an ongoing basis. All payments will be made via ACH/direct deposit into the grantee's designated bank account once a Form W-9 and a deposit authorization form are digitally executed. For the deposit authorization form, please email accounting@gipl.org.
