2026 Grant Application

Overview

Trinity Church on the Green is honored to support community organizations whose work reflects our mission statement, of working to improve the health, hunger, shelter, and/or education of those in need.  Listed below is an overview of our 2025 timeline and of the forms needed for a grant application. 

We have made several changes for 2026.  Please note:

  • We will only award programs that submit a complete application.  You may apply online or send your application to the parish office.

  • Typically, grant awards range from $1,000 to $3,000.  Please use this range when indicating the award amount you are requesting. 

  • We are updating our application schedule for 2026 due to the effects of probable changes in federal grant awards to local organizations.

The 2026 timeline is:

  • Early May: Grant application and applying information are available on Trinity’s website

  • Tuesday, June 9th - Applications due
