Applications for Lackey Outreach Fund Grants are now being accepted

October 22, 2018 Uncategorized

Thanks to a substantial trust left by Carolyn Lackey to benefit the less fortunate, St. Andrew’s has disbursed over $100,000 to charitable organizations since 2014. Some of these worthy organizations include LINK, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Menchville House Ministries, THRIVE Peninsula, Holy Cross Education Foundation, Kairos, Soundscapes, and more.

In the past, recipients have been selected by a committee. This year parishioners can nominate organizations for funding via an application found on our website and in the church office. The application can be completed by someone from the organization, or a parishioner can complete it on behalf of an organization with which they are involved. Organizations that have received a grant from the Lackey Fund in the past must also apply. Applications should be returned to the church, ATTN: Diana Skelton. The deadline for applications is November 30, 2018.

A committee will review all applications based on the guiding principle that “the money follows our people”; in other words, top priority will be given to organizations in which parishioners are actively involved. The Outreach Team appreciates your support in getting the word out to those organizations already receiving Lackey funds and any new organization you would like us to consider.
