Grants

Through the generosity of many people over the years, the Apostolate is able to offer grants to parishes and organizations of the Diocese of Madison to support the full inclusion of people with disabilities in the life of the Church. These funds are focused and restricted to the creation of programs, projects, and initiatives that will assist people with disabilities. The Apostolate wishes to support parishes who want to provide supportive services and/or create accessible facilities but are unable to cover all of the costs on their own. These efforts speak to the Gospel spirit that all are baptized persons are welcome and called to participate in the life of their Catholic parish, school, camp, or program.

*All building projects must be reviewed by the Diocesan Building Commission before being considered for a grant.

Grants are awarded under the direction of Msgr. Larry Bakke, Director, with advice from the Apostolate Grant Committee, and the approval of Bishop Donald Hying.
