Deadline to apply for fall grants for schools, parishes and ministries is Oct. 31

Criterion staff report

Through the generosity of the parishioners in central and southern Indiana, the Archdiocese of Indianapolis has three different endowment funds that support a twice-annual grant awarding process. This grant process is jointly administered by the archdiocesan Finance Office and the Office of Stewardship and Development.

In the spring and again in the fall, parishes, schools and agencies of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis have an opportunity to apply for grants from the following three endowments:

  • Home Mission Endowment Fund: used to support parishes and schools that qualify as home missions.
  • Growth and Expansion Endowment Fund: used to support growth and expansion initiatives throughout the archdiocese in parishes, schools and agencies.
  • The James P. Scott Endowment Fund: made possible through a gift by James P. Scott to be used to support capital needs in the archdiocese.

The two deadlines for the receipt of grant application submissions are April 30 and Oct. 31 each year.
