St. Mark's Grant Program

​History
 
In 2021, St. Mark’s Episcopal Church opened the St. Mark’s Thrift Store to provide low cost goods to our surrounding community.  During that year, at the Rector’s request and Vestry approval 50% of all yearly gross proceeds generated by sales would be designated for local mission and outreach.  The Thrift Store opened to the public in May of 2021, in the midst of the COVID pandemic.  In its first partial year of operation over $6,000 was set aside into the grant program funds. 
 
Purpose
 
The purpose for the grant program is to expand the missional outreach of St. Mark’s into our local community; defined as within a 20 mile radius of our Cain Road campus.  Recognizing that good works are being done by other organizations, that we do not want to duplicate or compete with, we desire to come alongside those missions through financial support.  We recognize that God provides gifting and talents that are unique to the mission they are called and no one organization embodies all gifting or call. 
 
In seeking complementary missional opportunities we are especially interested in organizations whose core missions are in human trafficking, care for widows and orphans, and/or care for the created order.
