Catholic Apostolic Universal Church Trust
This trust funds two streams of bodies of work:
- bursaries for theological students' education and training;
grants supporting social and educational programs in Aboriginal communities. - Programs must have been initiated by Aboriginal community(ies)/organization(s) and must involve Aboriginal people in their development, planning and implementation.
Programs must be "to benefit aboriginal peoples within Canada." Applications should indicate these benefits and how they will be achieved by the proposed program. This will be the prime criterion for the awarding of a grant.
Programs must be endorsed by an Anglican diocesan bishop and/or the General Secretary of the Anglican Church of Canada on the advice of the national co-ordinator of indigenous ministries (see the Partnerships department in the staff directory of the Anglican Church of Canada website for name and contact information).
Preference will be given to innovative programs, programs of benefit to large areas of the church, lay training, programs for disadvantaged people and those in urban centres.
The advisory committee meets twice yearly in May and October. The deadline to receive applications for the May meeting is April 22 each year and the deadline to receive applications for the October meeting is September 1st each year. This trust needs financial support in order that sufficient funding may be available in future years. Visit the membership page to find out how to support this work.
