Recently Diocesan funds were budgeted to provide grants for small churches to assist in meeting compliance standards (i.e. background checks, credit checks, etc.) for the Policy for the Protection of Children, Youth, and Vulnerable Adults. Small churches who have submitted their Congregational/Organizational Safe Church Annual Audit and have provided the Diocese with the preceding two calendar years' financial audit reports are eligible to apply to apply for a Safeguarding Grant.
