All grants from the endowment are to be strictly used for the benefit of Royal Ambassadors (RAs) initially in the state of Florida only; and eventually may be used to support RA programs in other states and even outside of the U.S. All grants will be approved by the Women’s Missions & Ministries (WMM) Department of the Florida Baptist Convention; or any successor organization charged with the responsibility of RAs.

Grants may be made only to churches, institutions and individuals with the highest ethical integrity and conduct. FL WMM will take great care in determining that the grant recipient(s) will be above reproach and respectful of others.

• Travel and lodging expenses for RA leaders to attend Associational, State or National training conferences
• RA materials for new and existing programs
• Training for churches trying to start or expand RA programs
• Promotional materials and RA Resource Kits for churches without RAs
• To finance State, Associational or Church-wide RA events or training conferences
• To assist with costs of RA Camps, including scholarships for RAs or leaders
• Materials for RA Leaders to assist with leadership training and development
• Financial support for a former RA (student or leader) called to the mission field (domestic or international).

All grant recipients will be expected to provide a written report within twelve (12) months of receipt of the grant. Such reports will be maintained by the WMU Foundation. The FL WMM leadership, in conjunction with the WMU Foundation, will make sure the guidelines are met by each grant recipient. Any questions regarding the guidelines or the appropriateness of any grant recipient, will be handled jointly by FL WMM and the WMU Foundation in order to coordinate a consistent and cohesive application of the guidelines.

Changes and clarifications can be made to these guidelines from time to time without requiring an amendment to the RA Endowment Agreement.
