CHARLOTTE — CRS Rice Bowl Mini-Grants of up to $1,000 are available to fund projects of Diocese of Charlotte entities that are addressing poverty and hunger in local communities.
Grant applications, guidelines and eligibility information are available from Catholic Charities Diocese of Charlotte, online at www.ccdoc.org/cchdcrs.
Only one grant can be submitted per Catholic entity, and grant applications must be reviewed and signed by the pastor of the parish, principal of the school, or director of the diocesan office applying for the grant. Grant applications must be received by email by Friday, Aug. 21.
Last year, nine CRS Rice Bowl Mini-Grants were awarded to support local poverty and hunger relief efforts in Charlotte, Clemmons, Asheboro, Asheville, Franklin, Lenoir, Morganton and Salisbury. Recipients of 2019 CRS Rice Bowl Mini-Grants are not eligible to apply in the 2020 round of grants.
