"In omnibus caritas" "In all things charity."  Since its inception in 1851, the congregation of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine has sought to put into practice these simple but all-encompassing words.  As a ministry of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine, the Foundation has Caritas Funds allocated to award to worthy endeavors of non-profit and faith-based organizations reaching out to meet the immediate needs of the poor.

The objective of the Caritas Fund is to provide outreach services and linkages to the poor and marginalized.  Caritas Fund awards will be up to $3,000 for a one-year period and are designed for organizations with annual budgets of less than $250,000.

Potential applicants should review the mission and focus of the Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina.  If there seems to be an appropriate match, applicants should complete a Caritas Fund application by the appropriate deadline. Applications are due by the first Tuesday in September: online applications are due by 11:59 p.m., mailed applications must be post marked September 2, 2008 and hand delivered applications must reach the Foundation office by 5 p.m.
