ECF gives strong preference to applications from parishes and organizations that have not previously received funding. However, previous grant recipients may apply for additional funding within the following guidelines:
- A ministry/organization cannot submit another request until 12 months AFTER they have submitted an approved final report from their previous funding.
- A parish cannot receive funding (either directly or through a supported ministry) more than once every 18 months.
For all previous grant recipients, ECF tracks when parishes and nonprofits are eligible to reapply – you DO NOT need to keep track of these dates yourself! If you have questions about when your ministry is eligible to apply for additional funding, please contact us.
