Financial Assistance
We never want affiliation with CMN to be restricted due to financial limitations. If paying any CMN fees will present a financial burden on you, your family or ministry, please contact us about financial assistance.
Financial assistance is available for ministers in developing countries and under special circumstances to any minister (up to a 90% grant).
When you contact us please explain
- your reason for seeking financial aid
- if this will be a continuing need or if it’s just a temporary problem
- how much help you’re requesting and
- how much you can contribute toward the fees.
We’ll do all we can to help. Contact us.
Those who have received aid in the past must resubmit a new request and be reevaluated each time.
