Royal Ambassador On-Line---About the Endowment

All grants from the endowment are to be strictly used for the benefit of Royal Ambassadors (RAs) initially in the state of Florida only; and eventually may be used to support RA programs in other states and even outside of the U.S. All grants will be approved by the Women's Missions & Ministries (WMM) Department of the Florida Baptist Convention; or any successor organization charged with the responsibility of RAs.

Grants may be made only to churches, institutions and individuals with the highest ethical integrity and conduct. FL WMM will take great care in determining that the grant recipient(s) will be above reproach and respectful of others.

The Endowment exists to assist with the training of RA leaders and to help young boys attend RA camps through scholarships and other financial incentives. Initially, the endowment will be for the benefit of RA efforts in Florida; however, once the total value of the endowment reaches $100,000, a portion of the annual grant may be used to support RA efforts outside of Florida. Any use of the annual grant for RA efforts outside of Florida will be determined by FL WMM in consultation with National WMU in order to effectively assist other state and national RA efforts.
