Perpetual Charity Fund Proposal Guidelines

Each year The Church of the Transfiguration issues a Request for Proposals (RFP) for an annual grant from the Church of the Transfiguration Perpetual Charity Fund. The purpose of these grants is to help organizations in the greater Monroe County area that serve low-income individuals and families. The total amount to be granted this year (2025) will be $15,275.  Proposals will be reviewed by the leadership of the Church of the Transfiguration, who has full authority in determining which organizations are awarded grants, and the dollar amount.

1. Proposals are due in the office of The Church of the Transfiguration on or before Friday, June 13, 2025, grants will be distributed by June 30, 2025.
