Microgrants

The Thriving Congregations Initiative offers microgrants to parishes that articulate specific plans for ministry in alignment with TCI’s annual themes. With over $100,000 disbursed to more than 20 parishes within our metropolis in recent years, these grants aim to foster growth in church communities and to create a welcoming environment in which parishioners can develop in their faith and play a role in their church’s thriving.
