How to Apply
After reviewing the Catholic Foundation guidelines, eligibility requirements and funding priorities, you will create an account on our Online Grant System if you have not already done so and complete the following two stages of the application process.
Stage One: Submit a Letter of Intent Letters of Intent (LOI) online form will open on April 28th, 2023 and will be accepted by the Catholic Foundation through May 26th, 2023. Once you have completed the online form for the LOI through our Online Grant System, you can expect to hear from us within 30 days. All LOIs will be read, though not all may generate an invitation to apply for funding. The Catholic Foundation receives many compelling requests each year and regrettably, we are not able to fund each one. |
Once your Letter of Intent has been reviewed, you may be invited to submit an online grant application. The online application is due July 31, 2023. Applicants will hear a response from the Catholic Foundation in November. Our staff is here to assist you with the application process, however, all funding decisions are made by the Catholic Foundation Board of Directors at the fall meeting. |
