Daughters of Mary and Joseph Congregation Fund
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- This fund is for the Daughters of Mary and Joseph, so requests come from a DMJ Region, or from an individual DMJ or DMJ Project approved by its local Region leader; a group outside the congregation should not apply.
- Its priorities are the advancement of the Catholic faith and DMJ ministries across the world, and formation, capacity building and self-reliance in the Africa Region.
- The fund does not accept unsolicited requests, so a DMJ applicant should first raise the need with its local Region leader and set out how it meets the charitable purposes and funding priorities, which trustees check for each request.
- The annual report gives annual giving of £340,732, but the grant size is not stated, and the number of projects is limited by available funds, so ask what is realistic before framing a request.
