Congregation of Notre Dame de Sion
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated themes are pastoral, educational, religious-formation and social ministries, Jewish-Christian relations, interfaith dialogue, and poverty and ecological relief, so a project should clearly fit one of these.
- The annual report gives annual giving of €5,749,362, but no grant range is stated, so there is no typical grant size to aim for and a request should be based on the project's own costs.
- No way to apply is published, so check the annual report and register entry first, and a short enquiry asking how to apply is a sensible first step.
- Much of its stated purpose concerns the Congregation's own regions, sisters and ministries, so an outside group should expect a narrower fit than the list of themes suggests.
- The funder states no exclusions or eligibility limits, so no organisation is ruled out on that basis.
