International Grant Program

The Foundation requires a determination letter or other correspondence from a governmental agency recognizing the organization as a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) and indicating its charitable nature. If you don't have such a letter, a letter from the principal officer of your organization with a statement explaining your NGO status can be provided. All documentation must be translated and submitted in English.

Most recent 12-month audited financial statement with accompanying notes, including a Statement of Financial Position (*assets/liabilities) and a Statement of Activities (*income/ expenses), or most recently filed Form 990. (Preferred)

If you do not have an audit or file Form 990, or if dated more than 12 months prior to your online submission, submit current unaudited, in house statements.

• Assets - Listing or value of current monetary assets (cash-checking/savings, accounts receivable, investment portfolios, scholarship funds, endowment funds, etc.) and fixed assets (buildings, land, furnishings, equipment, vehicles and the like).
• Liabilities - Monies currently owed or future commitments (accounts payable, mortgages, loans, credit cards, outstanding payroll/benefits, etc.).
• Income and the sources of income (tuition, fees, collections, grants, donations, government programs, rentals, dividends, etc.)
• Expenses - Salaries, transportation, utilities, maintenance/ rent, office supplies, program costs, etc.

NOTE:
Fixed assets are frequently omitted. This is required, even if the fixed assets are owned by a parent corporation (e.g. parish, diocese, bishop sole, religious order, consolidated health system, etc.). If you don't have this information on hand or are having difficulty acquiring it, the insurance value of such fixed assets will satisfy the requirement.

If you are a fund-raising entity, making application for a parent organization, the financial statements of both organizations are required.

A detailed breakdown of the essential cost elements and sources of income of the program/project for which funds are being requested.

If all budget details were entered on the online application form there is no need to attach a separate budget. However, if you need to include more details please upload an additional document.

The Ordinary's letter may be submitted later or directly from the Chancery, if you are unable to obtain it before the deadline.

This requirement may be satisfied in one of the following ways:

• A letter from the Cardinal, Archbishop or Bishop of the Diocese where the project will be carried out, commenting on your application to the Foundation. Letters from Auxiliary Bishops or department heads do not satisfy this requirement.
• In the case of religious orders not under the jurisdiction of an Ordinary, the Provincial, Abbot or Superior should send a letter to the Foundation commenting on the application.

To include additional information important for our Board to consider, a narrative explaining the project in greater detail may be uploaded. (Preferably not to exceed 5 pages.)

Photos may be uploaded to provide a visual understanding of the locale, organization, people and/or project.

Supporting documents such as newsletters, brochures, articles, etc. may be uploaded.
