Serve Others

Charitable Donation Program

St. Monica's Human Concerns Committee makes charitable contributions to non-profit organizations in support of initiatives consistent with the Parish Mission Statement through two different application processes. Applicants need not be Catholic nor affiliated with Catholic parishes or organizations. Organizations may submit one application per application year to each of the two application processes, but they should be distinct and differentiated.

Annual Parish Giving

In most cases, donations are $2,000 or less.

The deadline for all Annual Parish Giving Applications this year was December 8, 2011. Decisions will be made and funds distributed in early 2012. Application materials are typically available in the fall.

Please see below for our guidelines, an application, and a budget template. Please note that there are separate materials for each process. Organizations that receive a donation from St. Monica will need to complete the Follow Up Report found below.

Faith in Our Future Outreach Giving

Donations are typically larger than the Annual donations and are intended to invest in longer-term, sustainable solutions that address root causes. We expect these donations to be complemented by education and parishioner service opportunities.

The deadline for all Faith in our Future Outreach Giving Applications this year is 5 pm on February 16. Decisions will be made and funds distributed in spring 2012.

Please see below for our guidelines, an application, and a budget template. Please note that there are separate materials for each process. Organizations that receive a donation from St. Monica will need to complete the Follow Up Report found below.
