The Catholic Foundation Educational Grants Committee awards grants to support educational and evangelization projects at parishes, schools and other Catholic institutions within the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City. Grants are awarded for specific parish or school projects, based on:
- the objective of the project at the parish or school;
- the expected outcome and impact;
- the need for financial assistance to accomplish the stated goal.
One application is permitted annually from each school and each parish.
Please note:
- Grants are not for operating expenses, fund raising events, debt reduction, brick and mortar projects, endowment funds or capital campaigns.
- Previously purchased items will not be considered for reimbursement.
- Equipment, furniture, etc. will be considered, if significant to the objective.
- Priority will be given to school projects that focus on new or existing STREAM programs (Science-Technology-Religion-Engineering-Art-Mathematics).
- Youth group trips, camps, mission trips will be considered.
- The request should not be for the total project cost; additional funding sources must be identified.
- Not all grant requests are funded.
- Checks for funding will be presented to parishes/schools by a representative of the Catholic Foundation.
- All projects must be completed by June 30, 2019.
