To ensure compliance with these guidelines, the committee will not grant any funds to organizations that do not provide us with an application that meets the guidelines.
The deadline for application submission is November 15, 2024. The committee will meet during January to review the applications.

“The David St. George Outreach Endowment Committee is an outreach committee of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, Essex Fells, NJ. Its purpose is to distribute funds to organizations or groups, within the communities of St. Peter’s and the Episcopal Diocese of Newark, who seek to assist struggling individuals with food, shelter, education and/or support in hopes that they may one day be able to support and care for themselves. The distributed funds will be given in response to grant requests, submitted by these organizations, after prayerful consideration, discussion and investigation by the committee members. The aim of the committee is to not only assist individuals in need, but to focus on smaller organizations or projects for whom our limited resources would have the most impact.”
Erika Grothues is the Chair for the David St. George Outreach Endowment Fund. To learn more about the Fund or if you are interested in participating in this ministry, send an email here.
