SAINT BONIFACE FOUNDATION FOR OUTREACH GRANTS
Since its inception in 1995 the Saint Boniface Foundation for Outreach has played an important role in the good works we accomplish in Christ’s name. Grants awarded through the Foundation have allowed this parish to reach people and projects in our community and far beyond who are working to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, take care of the sick, and visit those in prison.
To further the ministry of Christ in the world, the Grants Committee identifies individuals or organizations that are working to improve the lives of those in need. Committee members develop ideas and seek project suggestions from parishioners, as well as research proposals submitted for consideration. Applications are reviewed April 1 and October 1. Grants typically run between $1,000 and $5,000. Since its inception in 1995, the Committee has made more than $400,000 in grants for local and global projects.
Grants are funded from the Foundation, and the Foundation is funded from bequests and gifts. To learn more about grants contact Becky Westbrook (941-371-2655 or via email). To learn more about supporting the Foundation for Outreach contact Betsie Danner (941-349-5616 x318 or via email).

RECENT GRANTS AID LOCAL, GLOBAL WORK
After investigating several proposals for funding, our Grants Committee awarded $5,700 to five groups: Saint Boniface’s own Counseling Center; Camp Able, providing a summer camp experience for those with disabilities in our diocese; Children First, readying youngsters in low income/at-risk families for kindergarten; the Society for the Increase of the Ministry, providing tuition assistance for Episcopal seminarians; and the Global Peace Exchange, an FSU student organization coordinating sustainable service projects domestically and globally. These grants, funded through our Foundation for Outreach, allow Saint Boniface to reach out to areas and people that we wouldn’t otherwise be able to serve. Since 1996, the Foundation for Outreach has awarded over $400,000. For more information on these grants or the Foundation visit our website, or contact Grants Chair, Becky Westbrook (941-371-2655); to discuss giving to the Foundation for Outreach, contact Betsie Danner (941-349-5616 x318 or email).
