EcoPhilly Mini Grants
Apply for an EcoPhilly Mini Grant to jumpstart a creation care project at your parish, school, or institution in 2026.
The EcoPhilly Mini Grants Program supports projects at Catholic parishes, schools, and institutions that align with Pope Francis’ Encyclical Laudato Si’: On Care for our Common Home (2015). We are seeking proposals that foster eco-spirituality and environmental action, engaging Catholic communities in the Philadelphia region to care for the Earth and its people. Projects should promote care for creation in your parish, school or institution; foster continued interest; and spur future action.
