| Ministry
Grants Fund --
In 1991, the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Wheeling created
the Ministry Grants Fund from the Sisters’ contributions.
Thanks to subsequent donations and bequests, this Fund
has grown and is able to increase the scope of grantmaking.
Grants are made once a year to non-profit groups or
agencies that have some relationship, currently or historical,
with the Congregation of St. Joseph, Wheeling Center.
Projects should be characterized by collaboration and
response to unmet need in West Virgina. Funding is given
for a year or less; the maximum amount of funding is
$7,500 per grant. |
