This funding opportunity is open to all Catholic parishes, schools, departments and diocesan agencies, and non-Catholic agencies, regardless of whether they receive funding from the Catholic Service and Ministry Appeal or the Christmas Collection. A committee will review all applications and make a recommendation for each. Approved grants will be awarded in October 2009 and are a one-time allocation. Recipients may reapply in subsequent years as funding allows. An evaluation of each project will be expected.

*Grant awards are limited to $5000 per proposal
