The Pandemic Church Assistance Fund (PCAF) provides some emergency financial assistance to smaller DBA churches that have been greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Eligibility

A DBA church may apply for an amount up to $1000 if it meets the following requirements:

1. The church is a current member of Dallas Baptist Association
2. The church is a “cooperating” member of Dallas Baptist Association, as defined by DBA’s by-laws. Specifically, the church must have completed the most recent ACP, and the church is a regular financial contributor to the association’s general budget.
   • If the church has not completed an ACP, please complete one now.
   • A “regular financial contributor” means the church has contributed in the last 12 months.
3. The church demonstrates that the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted church finances.

This is a one-time gift. Grants will only be made as long as adequate resources exist.

For churches that are members of Dallas Baptist Association, but they do not meet the “cooperating” requirements:

Because of the crisis that the pandemic has created, DBA is making an exception to our normal financial grant policy. A non-cooperating church that nevertheless is a member church of the association may receive financial assistance of up to $350 if they meet the following requirements:

1. The church completes an Annual Church Profile.
2. The church provides a letter to Dallas Baptist Association affirming (through a vote or other proper way according to church by-laws) that the church will give monthly for the DBA general fund for the next 12 months.
3. The church demonstrates that the pandemic has had a significant impact upon the finances of the church.

This is a one-time gift. Grants will only be made as long as adequate resources exist.
