FCH Grants
2026 FULLER CENTER FOR HOUSING GRANTS PROGRAM
The Lord has been good to us and we want to share our bounty with you, so we will be offering construction grants again this year. Here’s what’s available and the requirements to receive them:
Building grants
A single grant in any one of these categories:
NEW HOUSE BUILDS: Matching grant up to $10,000
RENEW BUILDS: Matching grant up to $5,000
GREATER BLESSING PROJECT: Matching grant up to $2,000
REQUIREMENTS FOR 2026 BUILDING GRANTS:
- Completed application must be submitted using the online form on this page.
- Projects must be completed in 2026 unless an extension is granted.
- Approved funds will be distributed if the covenant partner is current with all tax filings, state registrations and FCH annual reports. Those who are not current can still apply for the grant but will not receive any awarded funds until the reporting requirements are met.
- Funds can be used for site acquisition, building fees and hard construction costs.
- Funds cannot be used for administration or fundraising.
- Grant Recipients will not be eligible to receive 2026 grant funds until any previous FCH grant-supported project are completed.
- All New and ReNew build grantees will be listed as “Proud Project Partner of the Millard Fuller Legacy Build” and will receive a yard sign to be placed in front of the project site.
- All grantees are required to provide basic details about the project, preferably upon completion/dedication — with photos — using the fullercenter.org/submitnews link.
Storytelling promotion fund
(while funds last)
We have a $1,000 fund to promote your storytelling efforts. Here’s how it works:
For each submission of information using our form at fullercenter.org/submitnews that results in a news article on the fullercenter.org home page, we will not only share the article in a Facebook post, but we also will purchase a Facebook ad (minimum of $10) promoting it in your area (generally within 25 miles of your primary location). Believe it or not, a mere $10 boost will get your news in front of hundreds of new faces on Facebook — and because the ad will be targeted to your specific area, they will be relevant faces.
And all you have to invest is a couple of minutes on this form.
Submissions chosen to become news articles will be selected at the sole discretion of VP of Communications Chris Johnson, cjohnson@fullercenter.org. However, he wants to share as many news articles as possible, and he would love to exhaust the $1,000 fund in 2026.
A few notes from Chris on submitting information to become news articles:
- News is timely, recent and new. Events from weeks, months and years past are unlikely to be considered news.
- Submissions that do not not include a link to photos or that are not followed by emailed photos (the form will prompt you at the end) are unlikely to be considered for news.
- There is a place on the form for names. Be sure you have correct names and spellings.
- Things that would be considered news would include home dedications, mortgage burnings, a great experience with a U.S. Builders team, a church youth group raising a bunch of money with a unique or fun project, etc.
– Things unlikely to be considered news would include getting an ordinary donation, speaking at a club, selecting a partner family, and — especially — something that happened well in the past.
