Completed applications must be submitted in duplicate to the Executive Director of Leadership 100 no later than September 15 to be considered for funding the following year. After review by the Grant Committee, the Executive Committee, at its meeting at the Annual Leadership 100 Conference in February, acts upon the application.

 

While most grants are made for one year, multiple-year grants are sometimes considered. All grants require submission of a progress report every 90 days. Continued funding on a multi-year basis or funding of additional projects is conditioned on favorable review of such reports.

 

After the Executive Committee approves a grant request, it is forwarded to the Archbishop who may disapprove the request, if he considers it to be inconsistent with the priorities of the National Ministries of the Archdiocese. If he takes no action, the Executive Committee’s approval automatically becomes final on the thirty-first day after its delivery to the Archbishop. The Executive Committee, solely responsible for directing distributions of grant monies, may occasionally initiate a grant and distribute grant monies, in accordance with the purposes of Leadership 100, during any time period, subject to grant application and guidelines approval procedures.
