Get Inspired
We recently hosted an amazing virtual panel featuring three Seeds of Hope grant recipients making an impact in their communities through innovative and creative approaches. We were thrilled to be joined by Rev. Christina (Tina) Conlon, from Davenport Perth Community Ministry, Gloria Tozek from St. Paul’s United Church and Anne Yates-Laberge from Hillhurst United Church. They shared their experiences and insights on working on their respective projects, and receiving support from the Foundation through the Seeds of Hope granting program.

To Apply or Not to Apply, That is the Question

We get questions every day from curious people wondering how a grant from the Foundation can lift up their work.
We love feeling the buzz of the Spirit stirring in communities of faith and other United Church ministries across the country!
