💡 Why This Grant Matters for Churches & Nonprofits

Many churches and nonprofits are innovating in their communities but lack the financial resources to take programs to the next level. The Crocker Catalyst Foundation focuses on “novel or incremental” programs — meaning they’re looking for projects that either create something new or significantly enhance what already exists.


This makes the grant a great fit for organizations with a clear vision to:

  • Start a new community service initiative

  • Expand current programs with innovative components

  • Integrate technology or research-based solutions into their ministry or services
