For consideration at the October board meeting, applications for St. Vincent’s Home Corporation grants must be postmarked by Sept. 15. Applicants are to be located within the 22 counties of the Diocese of Davenport or serve children within the diocese. The grant application and criteria are at www.davenportdiocese.org/socialaction/sastvincenthomecorporation.htm#applygrants.
All organizations that work with children must document their efforts to perform background checks on employees and volunteers who work or have direct contact with children in order to be eligible for funding. If an organization received a grant in the past, a progress report must also be submitted by Sept. 15. An application for new funding will not be considered until the progress report has been submitted.
For more information, call the Office of Social Action at (563) 888-4212.
