NOMINATE A WORTHY CAUSE OR CHARITY FOR FUNDING
The Social Concerns Committee is calling for requests from parishioners for funding of worthy causes. The committee manages 4.5% of parish plate collections and allocates parishioners’ generous donations to organizations that provide charity and social justice work locally, within the two-county Oakland Diocese, the state, nationally, and internationally.
In 2022, the committee disbursed a total of $63,700 in one-time and quarterly grants. A total of $42,050 in one-time grants were made to 15 agencies including Habitat for Humanity East Bay, the Livermore School District Child Welfare Specialists, and World Central Kitchen. Also approved was a total of $21,650 in 13 grants payable quarterly to a variety of agencies, such as Abode Services, Axis Community Health, Goodness Village, Kids Bike Lane, Open Heart Kitchen, and three food pantries in Livermore.
If you would like to recommend an organization for funding as their parish sponsor, please call Mary at 925-454-9919 or Marcia at 925-321-0730. You will be emailed and asked to complete and submit a Request for Funds form no later than Friday, November 3, 2023.
