Seeding New Ministries
During a year with UrbanPromise International, fellows have the opportunity to develop proposals for new ministries or projects that support existing UrbanPromise sites and affiliate ministries. Proposals from UPI fellows are reviewed by the Board of UrbanPromise International (UPI). Upon approval, UPI grants seed money and provides technical assistance for approved initiatives.
UrbanPromise International seeks to lead each organization to autonomy and sustainability. UPI assists with communications and donor relations, fundraising, accountability, and developing support networks.
UPI is currently providing support to YouthCare, RiseMalawi, ProjectTEACH, ChristCares Ministries, and UrbanPromise Honduras. The UrbanPromise board also approved a proposal for Rays of Hope which will be initiated this year in Blantyre, Malawi by three UPI graduates.
