Formerly named the “General Grant Cycle,” our annual Annunciation Grants have been renamed in honor of the feast day of our sponsoring congregation, the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word. The Annunciation celebrates God’s incarnation in the world through Jesus.

The Incarnate Word Foundation is committed to catalyzing collaboration and building relationships by supporting organizations that serve the most vulnerable in our community.

We prioritize partnerships with organizations that align with our values, demonstrate significant community engagement, and approach their work with innovative and strategic thinking.
