Community Grants

Community Grants

The missional work of Christ Church Cathedral is carried out through its clergy, staff, parishioners, and other members of the cathedral community. In addition, the Mission and Outreach Committee is given the specific task of doing Christ Church Cathedral’s support and advocacy work throughout Cincinnati, the Diocese of Southern Ohio, and beyond.

Through community grants and outreach, the cathedral works to ease the financial burden of the advocacy work of local organizations. We will award grants to organizations in support of their work and mission. Due to overwhelming need in our community, typical awards of the past few years range $1500-$6000.  Please see below for the timeline and application.

Mission Priorities

Christ Church Cathedral supports organizations that help those who cannot help themselves, and organizations promoting reconciliation, social justice, and advocacy.

Christ Church Cathedral has a long history of aiding the forgotten, including those who are suffering from the impacts of poverty. Grant dollars are awarded to organizations that house, feed, and clothe the poor. However, the Cathedral also believes in addressing the causes of poverty and routinely awards grant funds to groups that foster mentoring and educational programs to break the cycle of poverty.

Christ Church Cathedral also strives to be a voice of truth on issues of social justice. The cathedral has awarded funds to groups involved in initiatives addressing racial inequality, LQBTQ rights, gun violence prevention, elder care, and gender inequality.
