Congregation Grants Applications and Requirements

Utilizing the income from endowments designated to support the development of missions and parishes in our Diocese, the Commission awards grants annually.
The Commission receives Grant Applications by March 1st of each year and makes awards by mid-June.

2011 grant proposals are due by March 15th download the

for details.

  • Congregations must submit a strategic plan for growth to CDC for approval as part of the granting process.
  • Grants are usually given on a matching basis, that is, up to 50% of the cost of a new or expanded program which supports a congregation’s plan for growth.
  • While Congregational Development Grants are not granted for bricks and mortar, we support inventive, creative plans that seek to transform the life of the congregation.
  • Grants are given on an annual basis, with a three-year limit contingent upon annual evaluations of progress.
