The 2024 Papal Foundation Grants are a propound reflection of generosity. They are the result of the collaborative work of the Vatican Secretariat of State Office and the Foundation’s Grants Committee and Mission Fund Committee.
Rome, Italy - The Pope began his speech by expressing his gratitude to the institution, which also promotes “comprehensive development”, especially of “the poor, refugees, immigrants” and also of “growing number of people affected by war and violence.”
Washington, DC - We are pleased to share an update on the outcome of all the work of the Grants Committee over the last few months. The Grants Committee received 166 grant requests from the Vatican in the Fall of 2023. The Committee conducted a grant-by-grant evaluation of each of the submissions totaling $14,191,403 with the help of the online grants management system. This system has provided a digital efficiency for document submission and storage, as well as for improved committee communication.
