Our Mission
The mission of the Lazarus Fund Ministry Team is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ by providing financial assistance to families and individuals of Allegheny County for rent, mortgage payments, security deposits and utilities, enabling them to overcome their economic difficulties through the grace and love of Jesus Christ as demonstrated through the giving of individuals and congregations of the Pittsburgh Presbytery.
How it works
We’re Here to Help
Helping Those in Need
Providing micro-grants, up to $400, remains the main purpose of this ministry. Applicants can apply these grants to help alleviate housing or utility debt. Potential utility termination, outstanding utility bills, and/or back mortgage or rent are all potential application reasons.
A volunteer intake interviewer completes an application in partnership with the applicant through a participating church.
The fund is completely administered by volunteers enabling almost all donations to be used in direct support of individual grants.
