Tau Grants
One-year grants focused on small nonprofits (<$2M) with organizational or program needs that are limited in scope. Traditionally, Tau Grants are intended to support organizations or services that assist persons who are marginalized, economically poor, or have limited access to healthcare and health information. There are two grant cycles per year. The first FY20 Tau Grants cycle will support outreach for the 2020 Census for organizations, programs, or initiatives working in targeted communities that have historically low rates of participation in the Census. Requests up to $10,000 will be considered. Read the Tau Grant Program Overview document.

ACOR Grants
One year grants that provide short-term support to local community projects that are in keeping with the mission, vision, and direction of the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany. ACOR Grants are unique among Allegany Franciscan Ministries’ grant programs in that they do not have a geographic restriction. Rather, they require a direct affiliation with Franciscan Sisters of Allegany or Trinity Health. There are two grant cycles a year. Read the ACOR Overview document. (ACOR Overview in Portuguese)
