Thanks to a substantial trust left by Carolyn Lackey
to benefit the less fortunate, St. Andrew’s has disbursed over $100,000 to
charitable organizations since 2014. Some
of these worthy organizations include LINK, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church,
Menchville House Ministries, THRIVE Peninsula, Holy Cross Education Foundation,
Kairos, Soundscapes, and more.
In the past, recipients have been selected by a
committee. This year parishioners can
nominate organizations for funding via an application found on our website and
in the church office. The application
can be completed by someone from the organization, or a parishioner can
complete it on behalf of an organization with which they are involved. Organizations that have received a grant from
the Lackey Fund in the past must also apply.
Applications should be returned to the church, ATTN: Diana Skelton. The deadline for applications is November
30, 2018.
A committee will review all applications based on
the guiding principle that “the money follows our people”; in other words, top
priority will be given to organizations in which parishioners are actively
involved. The Outreach Team appreciates
your support in getting the word out to those organizations already receiving
Lackey funds and any new organization you would like us to consider.
