The Golden Cross Benevolent Fund supports the laity of any age in our Annual Conference who are experiencing financial
difficulty due to excessive medical expenses such as hospital/physician services, dental, pharmacy, mental health, vision
needs, home health services, and medical travel expenses.
A special grant called “One Who Is Loved” makes possible love gifts to benefit children under the age of 18 who have special needs. Examples of special needs include specialized medical equipment or supplies/medicine, transportation to hospitals or treatment, or other special needs.
Pastors of the NC Conference are encouraged to recommend adults who are members of, or children (18 years old or younger) who are members of, or children who have at least one parent who is a member of, a local United Methodist Church in the NC Conference. Golden Cross grants are available for up to $2,500 per year. One Who Is Loved grants are available for up to $1,000 per year per child. Complete the application here. Applications are open year-round and subject to the availability of funds.
Donations are encouraged to enable this special grant fund to serve the needs of many children and should be directed to the United Methodist Foundation.
