Versacare Foundation Catalyst Grants

Individual funding: $2,500 to $10,000 for a qualifying program or project. This is applicant-facing competitive philanthropic financial assistance, not a procurement contract. Only one Catalyst grant may be awarded to an organization per year unless the foundation invites an exception.

Application status and deadline: The foundation describes Catalyst applications as accepted year-round with award decisions in January, April, July and October. Its general grant guidelines also specify an annual December 31 midnight portal closure for all grant programs; no time zone or exact year-end reopening date is published. Applicants should check the live application portal before the year-end cutoff.

Eligible applicants: Seventh-day Adventist owned/operated entities and qualifying church-affiliated faith-based or tax-exempt nonprofit organizations operating continuously at least two years, within the North American or Inter-American Divisions. Adventist affiliation, not merely general nonprofit status, is required. Unaffiliated entities, individuals and fiscal-sponsored applicants do not qualify. Schools have a separate K-12 application track.

Eligible work: Projects aligned with the foundation mission, including community engagement, underserved-population assistance, health and wellness, education, humanitarian programs, children and youth. The program is designed for organizations seeking a modest project funding boost and is suitable for first-time grant applicants.

Exclusions: Ordinary construction and renovations, mission trips, debt, salaries/payroll, consumables, scholarships, start-ups, regranting and most overnight or day camps are excluded unless the foundation approves an exception. The funder does not state a universal cash match or reimbursement-only requirement.

Application instructions: Prepare organizational history, proof of tax-exemption and Adventist affiliation, board list, previous-year balance sheet and income/expenses, project budget, activities and beneficiaries. Initial portal steps require an organization-specific eligibility screening and training video. Grant recipients must provide full financial accounting and agree to possible audit.
