MMF CMIT Anchor-Level Support Application | Chi Alpha Campus Ministries

Step 1 of 4

The Minority Mobilization Fund Application Review Board would like to thank you for your investment in a future minority missionary. Minority candidates face added pressures and obstacles in becoming missionaries. The Minority Mobilization Fund seeks to alleviate the financial burdens of minority missionaries who have great potential to reach students for Christ.

Grants are awarded based on an investment-mindset. Beyond need, we are looking for individuals who have long-term promise as university missionaries. For us, this means candidates who work diligently and faithfully at their support raising, express a long-term commitment to Chi Alpha missions, and have a strong support system.

A strong support system includes a good support raising coach and a minority mentor. Most of all, new minority missionaries need a CMIT director that will be an advocate, resource, and encourager. The reason you are filling out this application is that we are looking to you to make the initial decision regarding your CMIT’s eligibility for Anchor-Level Support Grants. In addition, we are also looking to you to walk alongside this new missionary as they raise their support, maintain good relationship with their partners throughout the year, and work towards replacing this grant post-internship.

Producing a healthy and ready-to-be-successful new minority missionary will require extra effort on your part. It may mean extra time for communication and extra coaching throughout the year to help him or her keep the support he or she has raised. XA Diversity is currently developing resources to better equip you in this process. Any resources or strategies that you have developed yourselves would be helpful in this development. Feel free to reach out to us at any time to share those.

MMF Application Approval Process
1. Once an application is received, it is assigned to a board member for review and process.
2. The board member will contact the internship director, potential candidate, support raising coach, and minority mentor and conduct phone/video interviews. The purpose of these interviews is to get a better understanding of the CMIT’s call, struggles, and need as well as to answer questions regarding the application process. The board member will also pray with each individual. It is our desire that the review process be relational, pastoral, and Spirit-Empowered.
3. Applications for anchor-level support will be reviewed mid-June by the MMF Application Review Board. During the review, the board will pray for each CMIT applicant and approve applications based on the Holy Spirit’s direction, information gathered from phone interviews, and availability of funds.
4. Board decisions will be communicated whenever possible to both the CMIT director and potential candidate by the same board member who conducted their interviews.
5. Funds will be disbursed only once the CMIT director notifies XA Diversity at xadiversity@gmail.com that the CMIT has raised 85% of his or her budget.
Obligations with Receiving an MMF grant:
1. We will share your picture and essay on social media.
2. In the future, we will call upon you to help work XA Diversity exhibits at different conferences like TWMS, SALT, and CMC.
3. We ask all future MMF recipients to commit to being trained as an ethnic minority support raising coach and to coach one person a year for three years. This would necessitate you making a commitment to staying at 100% of your own budget, going through the necessary continuing training so that your budget will also be healthy.
