Fundraising & Grantseeking Support for Conferences

Amelie Ozanam Legacy Society

A legacy is not just what we leave, but what we live. We encourage all Vincentians to reflect on how we can collectively work to ensure the mission and legacy of St Vincent de Paul is preserved for decades to come. Please share the following with your Conference supporters.

Planned Giving includes:

  • Donor-advised funds
  • IRA Distributions & Qualified Charitable Contributions (QCDs)
  • Gifts of Stock
  • Wills/Bequests

"Such a gift is more than a financial act—it is a spiritual commitment. It says that you believe, as our founders did, that service to the poor is inseparable from service to God; that the mission is worth preserving; and that your faith is best expressed not only in the world you inhabit today, but in the one you help shape for tomorrow."

Conference Grantseeking

Across King County, Vincentian Conferences are applying for funds under the same SVdP nonprofit 501(c)3. This resource was designed to support and encourage Conference grant-seeking efforts and to ensure our shared 501(c)3 maintains a sterling reputation with regional funders.

How we communicate individually defines our collective presence in the community. This toolkit includes an overview of grants compliance standards, answers to commonly-asked application questions, a guide to inclusive language, and detailed advice on how to research funding opportunities in your area.
