Funding Opportunity for your Parish!
May 31 is the deadline for applications to the Growth For Ministry Fund. This fund exists to offer money for development or expansion of ministries, experimental or new ministry, projects that foster engagement with the wider community and the gospel, outreach ministry or initiatives which might not otherwise be pursued. These are broad categories, and a lot of interesting ideas from parishes, regions and VSSTs can (and have) been approved for funding. Projects of any size are eligible to apply for funding, and it is especially important to note that there is no project that is too small to apply. For more information, and to find the application form go to https://www.nspeidiocese.ca/pages/administration-policies and look for Policy 2.2.9.
