Description

The Sylvania Franciscan Foundation Fund, administered by the Greater Toledo Community Foundation, provides annual grants to nonprofit organizations for projects that address urgent social and environmental challenges. Funding priorities include combating human trafficking and supporting survivors, assisting immigrants and refugees, advancing social justice and equal access to opportunity, and promoting environmental stewardship in line with Pope Francis’ Laudato Si’—focusing on climate change, sustainable lifestyles, ecological education, and community engagement. The fund encourages evidence-based, systems-change approaches and values collaboration, especially with organizations led by individuals with lived experience or those involving the Sisters of St. Francis.
