To be consistent with its purpose, the St. Vincent’s Home will focus on those projects that assist children who are in the greatest need. Projects that address children in general should explain the extent to which the project also supports children who have special needs, such as poverty, family breakdown or other disadvantage. To be considered at the Fall Board meeting, applications must be postmarked by September 15th. Applicants are to be located within the 22 counties of the Diocese of Davenport or serve children within the Diocese of Davenport.
