OCFs: Apply for a Vocation Grant
National OCF, in conjunction with We Offer These
Gifts: A Program for the Theological Exploration
of Vocation at Hellenic College, will grant a
total $25,000 this year to registered OCFs and OCF
programs that use the grant to offer opportunities
for college students to engage in the theological
exploration of vocation. OCF groups may apply for
a relevant amount between $100 and $5000.
These Vocation Grants are made possible by way of
a grant received by Hellenic College in Brookline,
MA through the Lilly Endowment Inc. The Lilly
Endowment Inc. believes in keeping religious
communities strong and vibrant, and that college
campuses are where this vital energy is to come
from. Colleges and universities thus have a
pivotal opportunity to help students explore their
options and make life-defining decisions in light
of their intellectual and faith commitments. (www.ptev.org)
Grant proposals are reviewed on a rolling basis,
so OCF groups may apply at any time. However, an
initial proposal must be received at least twelve
weeks (or one semester) before the proposed
project and/or start of funding.
