$350,000 in Project-Based Grants Available
The Archdiocese of Vancouver has opened applications for the new Living Waters Fund, offering $350,000 in grants to support Catholic ministries and partner organizations that accompany women facing adversity.
Established through the generosity of supporters at the 2025 Archbishop’s Dinner, the fund aims to strengthen practical, mission-aligned initiatives that help women find safety, stability, and healing.
The majority of funding is accepting applications from now until December 31, 2025, with grants distributed in February 2026. Applications for the second round will close on March 31, 2026, with disbursements made in May 2026.
Eligible projects must align with Catholic moral and social teachings and directly support women through project-based initiatives such as safe housing, crisis support, healing programs, outreach services, or stability-building assistance for women in vulnerable situations.
