The Mission Fund team has reviewed all of the grant requests that were received for 2023. We are pleased to announce that we are able to approve 10 grant requests in the amount of $12,274. We would like to again thank our St. George community for your generous support in 2022! As we are entering into Great Lent please consider us in your charitable giving. God bless you all! About us: The St. George Mission Fund was established by the St. George parish council in 2021. Its purpose is to provide our parish with a relatively stable and growing source of funds to fulfill and expand our ministries as an Orthodox Christian community. These are the religious, educational, cultural, and fellowship activities of our parish. Mission Fund resources are not used for operational expenses of the church. These are maintained through your stewardship and other donations. For more information click: sgmf_faqs_2022-10-27.pdf Grant Approval: Thank you all again for your generosity throughout 2022! We were able to approve 10 grant requests for 2023. That is double the number of grants then were approved in 2022! This year's recipients are: St. George Chant Ministry, St. George College Connection, Faith and Fun Week, GOYA, St. George Greek School, St. George Lenten Retreat, Oratorical Festival, St. George Scholarship, Seniors of St. George and St. George YAL Lenten Retreat. A grant request form must be submitted by a parish member in good standing by December 1st of the year prior to its expected use. The St. George Mission Fund then reviews all the requests and grant approval is determined by the following February 1st. Grants must be consistent with the purpose of the mission fund. Consideration is also given to where the grants will do the most good and the size of available funds. The form is accessible in the Forms and Application tab! The deadline for submitting grant requests 2023 is now closed. It is not too early to starting thinking about 2024! Donations: Your generous donations allow us to flourish as an active community.
