Foley Legacy Fund application
Since 2016, the Foley Legacy Fund has been used to provide financial support to ministries/projects that provide direct service to persons who are economically poor and underserved as well as Congregational ministries that further the mission of the Sisters of Providence at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods or elsewhere.
However, in an effort to build up the Foley Legacy Fund, the General Council has decided that only SP-sponsored institutions, ministries, and programs may apply for funding this year.
Check back next year for an update. Meanwhile, be assured of our gratitude and promise of prayers for all the good work you do on behalf of the most vulnerable.
For this year’s application, please submit your form by April 11, 2025.
Fill out my online form.
