Women of the ELCA announced that its grants program is being reassessed and will be on hiatus in 2016. “The grants program has helped to change lives for nearly 30 years,” said Linda Post Bushkofsky, the group’s executive director. “The review will allow us to consider the program’s effectiveness, reach, funding, etc., and it gives us space and time to make any adjustments that might come from the review.” In 2015, Women of the ELCA awarded nearly $50,000 in grants to 18 domestic and nine international programs to “promote women’s complete and total health,” staff reported. Grants are issued from designated endowments.
