Ideal Applicant
A Catholic parish, diocesan program, or Catholic school within the Diocese of Saginaw seeking support for religious education, school operations, or diocesan ministry.
Good Fit
- • Located in the Diocese of Saginaw (in-state).
- • Mission focused on religious education, parish ministry, or Catholic school operations.
- • Existing relationship or clear affiliation with the diocese or local Catholic institutions.
- • Can articulate operational needs and stewardship (many recurring modest-to-mid-size grants observed).
- • Willingness to apply through the foundation's online portal and follow posted deadlines.
Geography
All observed giving over three years was to organizations in Michigan, concentrated within the Diocese of Saginaw (100% in-state in the latest year).
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded a sizable and varied set of independent recipients each year (25–31 distinct recipients annually, 31 in the latest year), indicating a broad recipient footprint within its local mission.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new entrants appears in the data (8 new recipients in 2024, roughly 25% of recipients) and the profile lists an online grant portal and application opening date, so unfamiliar local applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
