RE: Granting Guidelines
Date: March, 2008

Please read these carefully and completely before beginning the application.  We have tried to make these guidelines as succinct as possible.  If you have questions, email Kay Wood at Kathrine_Wood@msn.com.
 
Guidelines:

Grants are limited to $1000 per church – division of grant between multiple projects is acceptable.

Projects must have parishioner involvement.

We would appreciate especially grants that address the root causes of homelessness and hunger that are parish based and where there is parishioner participation i.e. a life skills program, after school program for enriching children’s lives; a program designed to keep children in school; a language skills program.  These are merely ideas.

We will not fund salaries or capital improvements.

Checks will be issued to the sponsoring clergy when grants are made.

Thank you for the work you do for those who are in need.
