Please note: If grants are issued to individuals for needs other than educational
assistance, the names of the individuals will not be published publicly.
The Missions Trust was established in 1973 to provide financial assistance toward
activities that would improve the condition of the general community. Awards may
be given to people, groups, or institutions, for purposes such as education, medical
expenses, in support of non-profit activities providing services to those in need,
or even construction or maintenance of buildings for charitable use. Although the
Trust is primarily intended to be utilized to aid the community external to St.
Paul’s Parish, aid may also be provided inside the parish for the same purposes
as it would be done in the community.
The Trustees of the Fund are the Vestry of St. Paul’s West Whiteland. However, recommendations
for awards from the Missions Trust are submitted by the Grants Committee. This committee
consists of the Rector of St. Paul’s, one member of the Vestry of St. Paul’s, and
one "at-large" member of the Parish. The Vestry member and parishioner are elected
annually. Award recommendations of the Grants Committee are taken forward to the
Trustees for approval. Any member of St. Paul’s Parish may make a request for the
distribution of funds from the Missions Trust in additon to the receipt of outside
grant applications.
St. Paul’s Mission’s Trust provides a wonderful opportunity for mission/outreach
giving. It has been used to aid over 350 agencies and 35 individuals and groups
over its more than 30 years of disbursing grants. Through the Missions Trust, the
Parish of St. Paul’s can be assured of the continued ability to reach out in Christ's
love and service.
