Deadline: April 30
From now through April 30, the Norwood Parish Fund (NPF) Board will accept grant applications for Spring 2023.
Grants are available to organizations or parishioners for:
- St. John’s capital needs,
- Outreach ministries,
- Seed money for new ministries and special one-time projects, and
- Other highly meritorious purposes that are similar to, but do not precisely fit, the three categories above and that fulfill St. John’s mission to develop its ministries or to be a catalyst for projects that are beyond what it is possible to fund through annual operating funds.
Dozens of grants have been funded since the creation of the NPF in 2002. In the last few years, NPF funds have contributed to significant initiatives in the life of the parish, including establishing the Journey to Adulthood (J2A) program and the Come As You Are 5:00 pm service. NPF funds have likewise funded: major outreach and property projects, such as refurbishing the kneelers, supporting the Gun Violence Prevention group, and to help support Nourishing Bethesda.
