United Church of Canada Foundation Spring 2025 Centennial Grants

Let’s celebrate!

The Joint Grants Committee and the United Church of Canada Foundation Board are happy to announce the Spring 2025 Centennial Grant results! This marks the third of four granting rounds for this fund.

As the United Church of Canada nears its Centennial, many communities of faith are planning meaningful events to celebrate this monumental milestone. In recognition of this, the Centennial Granting Fund was established to help support these celebrations. This fund serves as a tangible expression of solidarity, support, and celebration.

Over the previous rounds, the Fund has seen huge growth in interest and this most recent round brought in an overwhelming number of applicants.

So in response to this impressive demand, the Foundation Board announced an additional $50, 000 of funding for the Spring round, bringing the total granting availability to $75,000!
