Msgr. Joseph Mancuso Catholic Education Grant
Program
Providing a strong Catholic education for our youth has always been a priority of the Missouri
State Knights of Columbus. Beginning in 1984, Msgr.Joseph Mancuso spearheaded a drive to
establish a $1,000,000 trust fund for Catholic education programs. Since 1990 interest eamed
from this firnd has provided over $700,000 in grants to Catholic schools and
parish-based religious programs. During the 2018-19 fraternal year we were
able to give at least some funds to the applications which met the criteria.
Catholic schools, which include pre-schools, parochial schools and high
schools along with K-12 religious education programs can apply for either a
$500 or $1000 grant. Application forms are available on the state council
website under the forms section and are due by March 1st - no late forms will be accepted.
While electronic submissions are highly preferred, if you have issues with the online form
contact Fr. Weber. Please follow the criteria precisely.
Grant Criteria
o Deals with a specifically Catholic dimension of education which is in conformity with the
Magisterium of the Catholic Church.
o Would affect a high percentage of the potential number of students enrolled or other
persons involved.
Shows promise of continuing after the initial funding is expended.
Does not merely replace what is an expected service but offers an improved dimension
(supplements basic programs, does not supplant, or initiates a needed program).
Could be replicated in other Catholic educational settings.
Show clearly the basis of need for this project.
Show clearly the inability of the local setting to meet this need.
Would be implemented by personnel with appropriate background and expertise.
Is accompanied by a budget which meets requirements and includes no request for
overhead expenses unless it is a new project.
o Offers matching effort (not necessarily financial) on the local level to the extent possible.
