- Recipient congregations may only receive one Do Good & Share Grant (Experimental or Sustaining) per grant cycle.
- Grant approval/rejection by the Ministry Grants Team will be announced by April 1, 2024.
- 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.
- Grant recipients must provide feedback on learning and grant progress to the Diocese upon completion of the grant project. Failure to provide feedback or return of funds may result in exclusion from future grant opportunities.
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.
