The Ukrainian Catholic Foundation Grant Fund Program was established in 2019 from the proceeds of sale of Sheptytsky Institute. The investment income generated by these funds provide grant funds to Parishes/Missions and approved Eparchial Organizations. To date, the Ukrainian Catholic Foundation has distributed $370,795 in grant funds for a wide range of Parish/Missions and Eparchial projects.

The Foundation is looking for applications from Parishes/Missions and approved Eparchial Organizations for projects/initiatives that align with the Foundation’s mission and purpose. While applications for all worthwhile projects/initiatives will be considered, in 2026, priority will be given to those applications for projects/initiatives in support of ministries such as youth programs, social justice programs, initiatives designed to grow Parish membership and any projects/initiatives intended to make the Parish a “Vibrant Parish”.

For 2026, the Foundation will be looking to distribute up to $120,000 from the Grant Fund this year.

To receive these grant funds, Parishes/Missions or Eparchial Organizations must submit a grant fund application form, approved by their parish priest.

The application form is available under the “Grants” tab on the Foundation’s website at www.ucfsask.org. More detailed information concerning the grant fund, and the guidelines under which grants will be considered is also available under the “Grants” tab on the website.

Parishes/Missions or Eparchial Organizations wishing to apply for a grant should complete and submit their “grant application form”, to the Foundation Office by 5:00pm May 31, 2026.
