Types of Grants Awarded

The Catholic Community Foundation awards grants for limited term projects and programs. The Foundation does not usually fund multi-year grants. Capital and endowment grants are given rarely and only to unique projects. The Foundation does not provide funds on an emergency basis. The Foundation usually does not award grants to an organization for more than two consecutive years; however, this does not pertain to the health care services cycle grants from the St. Anthony Fund because of prior commitments.
