- Grant projects must take place within between April 1, 2024 and October 1, 2024; otherwise, funds must be returned to the Diocese.
- Unused grant funds must be returned to the Diocese within 60 days of the completion of the Sustaining Grant.

What Qualifies for a Sustaining Grant?
- Sustaining Grants are good for a larger one-time project or the beginning of a more sustained project.
- The primary goal of the Sustaining Grant proposal should be the engagement of your neighborhood/broader community, beyond one-time acts of service or assistance to those in need.
- Grant funds are not to be used for existing programs, internal programs, discretionary spending, operating budget, personnel, or capital projects.
