The deadline to submit letters of inquiry for the brand-new Luce Fund for Theological Education is March 15. The Henry Luce Foundation is encouraging requests from seminaries and other organizations for amounts of $250,000 to $500,000. A select number of inquirers will be invited to present full proposals.
Over the last two decades, the theology program of the Henry Luce Foundation has sought to deepen attention to globalism, pluralism, and religious diversity in theological schools while also supporting interdisciplinary scholarship that promotes engagement with both the religious community and the general public.
Institutions eligible to apply include accredited U.S. seminaries and divinity schools, as well as other institutions and organizations that support the work of graduate theological education. Seminaries outside the United States may apply if they have nonprofit status recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The foundation welcomes multi-institutional collaborations.
