ANNOUNCEMENT (Updated January 2018)

The Patron Saints Foundation announces temporary changes to their Grants Program.

The Foundation will maintain 2 grant cycles (fall and spring) in the 2017-2018 fiscal year, but the overall grants budget will be reduced across both funding cycles.

The grant category of Community Health Services that includes primary care, dental and mental health services will continue to be the highest priority for funding consideration.

In addition, please note the following changes for 2017-2018 (Updated January 2018):

  • The Foundation will not be accepting applications in the Grant Categories of Capital Expenditures (i.e., capital campaigns) and Medical Research.  This restriction is being maintained on a temporary basis.  Please refer to the Grant Categories listed below for acceptable areas of funding.

These modifications to The Foundation’s guidelines are temporary.  We encourage you to visit our website, www.patronsaintsfoundation.org, for the latest updates.

If you have any questions, please contact Kathleen Shannon at (626) 564-0444.
