Catholic Rural Life Chapter Grants are open to all active chapters, including new, relaunching, or forming chapters. Funding is designed to help chapters strengthen lay leadership, enliven parish life, and support faith-based initiatives that advance CRL’s mission. All funded projects must meaningfully contribute to one or more of the Three Pillars of CRL Chapters: Liturgy, Education, and Community Service.
