Good afternoon IFI team,

Please see the documents below which include options directly related to the building restoration funding (as a church, non-historic building, non-federal emergency), a list of new top scorers for church-type IFI to pursue in accordance with the overall mission, and an Easter Egg that popped up while digging into options specifically for Churches 🐣 🥳

[email protected] → Looking forward to hearing your feedback. I have included recommended action items below. The funding opportunities for mission-aligned grants are being added to the overall repository—but we can enhance what that looks like for high-priority targets (with intent to pursue), then back-research the others to similar granularity and finalize the fields for our data model.

🔹 Building Restoration Funding Opportunities (20 options for which IFI qualifies or likely qualifies as are related to building restoration situations)

🔹 Google for Nonprofits Benefits (uncovered as Churches are directly eligible) 🥳

Google for Nonprofits - Opportunity for International Friendships

Takeaway: I’ve verified IFI eligibility for Google for Nonprofits (as a church)

Potential implications:

**$10K/month in Google Ads credits - if secured, this has massive engagement and outreach potential that complements Seekifi well and enables us to do more within budget constraints

Google Workspace & YouTube features - storytelling initiatives and operational efficienciesr

Google Maps Platform credits - geographical based outreach and analysis across all IFI sites**

Action Item: Enroll in Google for Nonprofits and we’ll see about leveraging additional digital tools for outreach via $10k/month grant support for ads.
