The CPPS Heritage Mission Fund, imbued with the gospel message and the mission and charism of the Sisters of the Precious Blood, responds to requests for financial support for programs and projects that promote the values of Precious Blood Spirituality, dignity of all life, healing and reconciliation, solidarity with the poor, the common good and meeting the unmet needs of the time.
The fund’s defining pattern is mission-aligned support for organizations working from Precious Blood Spirituality, especially where grants address healing and reconciliation, solidarity with the poor, and unmet needs in the community. Cpps Heritage Mission Fund gives through an annual cycle and also makes mini-grants for recent recipients with unexpected costs, which points to a mix of planned support and follow-on help. Recent awards show both operating and project funding. Good Neighbor House in Dayton received $200,000 for operating support of existing programs, while Good Knights Inc in Wellington received $100,000 for expansion and enhancement of existing programs and projects. The fund also backs Catholic and faith-based service organizations, such as Sisters of the Precious Blood in Dayton at $75,000 for operating support and St John Vianney Parish Flint at $88,000 for a capital project. The grant list includes social services, shelters, clinics, food-related work, and organizations serving people facing poverty or hardship. Several awards went to groups in Dayton and other Ohio communities, but the fund also supports organizations in Michigan, California, and other states. Its recent record suggests a funder that uses grants to sustain day-to-day operations, improve existing work, and occasionally underwrite buildings or other capital needs.
A central theme in Cpps Heritage Mission Fund’s giving is faith-based social service. It supported Good Neighbor House in Dayton with $200,000 for operating support of existing programs and helped St Vincent De Paul Social Services in Dayton with $60,000 for operating support. Poverty relief and food security also appear repeatedly. The fund gave $50,000 to Findlay Hope House for the Homeless for operating support of existing programs and $60,000 to Wedontwaste Inc in Denver for a capital project. Health and medical support is another visible area. St Jeanne De Lestonnac Free Clinic in Orange received $50,000 for operating support, while Healthy Moms & Babes in Cincinnati received $50,000 for expansion or enhancement of existing programs and projects. Education and community development show up as well. El Puente Educational Center in Dayton received $59,440 for operating support and $50,000 for operating support in another year.
Typical grants cluster around a mid-five-figure level: p25 is $10,200, the median is $20,000, and p75 is $30,000. The recent awards show a wider upper range, including a $200,000 grant and multiple $50,000 to $100,000 grants. The fund is a Pure DAF Provider, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Its grantmaking includes repeat support to the same organizations across years, such as Good Neighbor House, St Vincent De Paul Social Services Inc, and El Puente Educational Center. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. The fund also has a mini-grant track for organizations that already received a grant within the past year, with awards up to $5,000 for unexpected costs.
