Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $20,000
Summary
This grant opportunity is designed to support capital projects within Catholic communities, primarily targeting diocesan entities, religious orders, parishes, and affiliated organizations outside the United States. Eligible applicants include Catholic dioceses, religious congregations, and other faith-based entities that operate in alignment with Catholic missions. Funding is intended to strengthen the physical infrastructure necessary for the delivery of community services, religious education, and pastoral activities, including construction, equipment acquisition, or vehicle procurement.
Grants typically provide up to $20,000 per project and are strictly limited to capital expenses. Projects aimed at operational costs, scholarships, tuition, endowments, travel, or multi-year commitments are ineligible. Each diocesan or religious entity may submit only one application per calendar year, and previously funded projects must wait a minimum of three years before reapplying. This ensures that resources are equitably distributed across Catholic organizations seeking to enhance their mission-driven facilities.
The application process requires submission of an Online Grant Inquiry Form during designated open periods, with further steps contingent upon initial eligibility review. Applicants must include comprehensive project plans, professional cost estimates, and written approval from local Catholic authorities, such as the diocesan bishop or religious order superior. All submissions must be in English and submitted via the online portal, as email or postal applications are not accepted.
Grant decisions are made semi-annually, typically in March and September, with early submission recommended due to high demand. This funding opportunity is particularly suitable for Catholic organizations seeking to develop or improve facilities that support worship, community outreach, educational programs, and other services aligned with the Church’s mission. By investing in sustainable, mission-focused infrastructure, the grants aim to enhance the ability of Catholic communities to serve parishioners and the broader local population effectively.
Organizations and individuals based in Oklahoma who are engaged in Education may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
