Thomas H & Mary Williams Shoemaker Fd

Shoemaker Fund Grants for Renewing and Strengthening the Religious Society of Friends

Who can apply: Nonprofit organizations may apply, including Quaker organizations and Friends meetings. Projects should clearly align with the Fund's strategic goal of renewing and strengthening the Religious Society of Friends. Preference is given to organizations that have not previously received support, innovative collaborations among Quaker organizations and meetings, creative approaches beyond established structures or programs, and projects with clear potential outcomes. Quaker organizations are strongly favored, although non-Quaker organizations may be eligible for projects aligned with Quaker values. Philadelphia Yearly Meeting groups have historically received some preference, but organizations outside that area are eligible.

Deadline: Inquiries may be submitted before April 15 or October 15 each year; inquiries are reviewed at the May and November trustee meetings.
