United Church of Canada Foundation Fall 2024 Centennial Grants

Let’s celebrate!

The Joint Grants Committee and the United Church of Canada Foundation Board are happy to share the Fall 2024 Centennial Grant results!

As the United Church of Canada approaches its Centennial, many communities of faith are eager to plan activities in celebration. We recognize the need to support these groups and thus the Centennial Granting Fund was born! This program emphasizes the importance of uniting to commemorate this historic achievement together. It provides funding for events designed to mark the milestone moment. The creation of the Centennial Granting Fund represents a tangible expression of solidarity, support, and celebration.

11 congregations from 9 different Regional Councils will receive support for their celebratory events:

  • Alpha Korean United Church (Toronto, ON)
  • Crescent Fort Rouge United Church (Winnipeg, MB)
  • Eglise Unie de Sainte-Adele (Sainte-Adele, QC)
  • Emmanuel College (Toronto, ON)
  • Gladwin Heights United Church (Abbotsford, BC)
  • Knox Didsbury and Olds United Church (Didsbury, AB)
  • New Brunswick Southwest Cluster United Churches (Kingston, NB)
  • Pictou United Church (Pictou, NS)
