Tithe Grantees

Holy Trinity's Tithe Grant program (ten percent of parishioner’s’ regular collections) seeks to address root causes of social justice issues both locally and within the global community. This concrete and ongoing commitment to social justice is a priority among Holy Trinity parishioners and its careful and transparent distribution is an important responsibility of the Social Justice Committee. The amount available this year from the pledge and general/holiday offerings is $433,250.

The large grant focus for 2025 is unaccompanied minors in the District of Columbia and surrounding area. Unaccompanied children are children under age of 18 who lack both lawful immigration status in the United States and a parent or legal guardian in the United States, or a parent or legal guardian in the United States who is available to provide care and physical custody.

The focus in 2024 was on violence prevention in youth. The committee opted to award grants totaling $100,000 to two organizations: BEST Kids, Inc. ($65,000) and the T.R.I.G.G.E.R. Project ($35,000).

In addition to the large grant theme, each year the committee awards small grants ($5,000- $20,000) to organizations addressing environmental justice, racial justice, refugees/migration, returning citizens, homelessness, and youth. The committee is guided by the Apostolic Preferences: Showing the Way to God; Walking with the Excluded; Journeying with Youth; and Care for Our Common Home. We also award grants to our sister parishes.
