Grantmaking for Mission!

THE WORK OF MISSION

Our Sisters devote their lives to care for God’s people—a mission they further through the Grand Rapids Dominican Sisters Foundation.

Our work is making sure our neighbors have enough to eat, our friends have top-notch medical care, and our community members are safe, successful, and spiritually fed. Through grants that support this and other vital work—the work of mission—we respond as our Sisters have always done.

We are thrilled to partner with these organizations, our 2026 grantees, to further their efforts and move forward in mission.

Together with our friends and supporters, we put our faith in action by facilitating the work of those on the forefront today, serving God’s people just as Sisters have always done.
