Elder Travel Grants

In order to facilitate oversight and support of commended missionaries living abroad, Stewards Ministries (SM) is offering Elder Travel Grants.

Through these grants, SM will reimburse 50% of travel costs (air, food, lodging, etc.), up to $3,000 per elder, for a maximum of two elders per chapel.

Requirements:

  • The elder(s) must be visiting missionaries who are formally commended by their Assembly.

  • The missionaries must be actively serving in their designated field abroad.

  • Chapels must submit copies of receipt documentation, digitally, for travel costs in order to be reimbursed. Please email receipts to admin@stewardsministries.com.

  • Reimbursements may take 6-8 weeks.

  • Travel must occur within one year of the application approval date.

  • Recipients must submit a brief report summarizing the visit and its outcomes within 30 days of returning from the trip in order to be reimbursed. Please email reports to admin@stewardsministries.com.

  • The grant is only available for travel expenses directly related to the visit (e.g., no personal expenses or unrelated travel costs).

  • If the elder(s) are unable to complete the visit, they must notify SM as soon as possible to discuss alternative arrangements.
