Creating a Project
Standard & Professional This feature is available on all plans.
Projects let you put your organization’s work in front of funders who are actively looking to fund Catholic initiatives. By listing a project, you enable two-way discovery — funders can find you, not just the other way around.
What is a project?
Section titled “What is a project?”A project is a listing that describes a specific initiative, program, or need your organization has. It includes details about your goals, the funding you’re seeking, and the populations and areas you serve. Funders browsing the Catholic Funding Guide can discover your projects and reach out to you directly.
