Missionary Franciscan Sisters Trust

About

Mercy Partners sponsors ministries entrusted to their care by founding religious congregations within the Catholic community.

Giving Philosophy

As part of Mercy Partners, this trust operates as a Catholic Church sponsorship entity that preserves and nurtures the charisms (spiritual identities) of founding religious congregations. Rather than traditional grant-making, it provides governance, oversight, leadership support and formation for ministry leaders, ensuring ministries remain faithful to their founding spiritual missions while responding compassionately to emerging community needs.

Tips for Applicants

This trust operates as part of Mercy Partners' governance structure rather than as a traditional grant-making foundation. Direct grant applications are unlikely to be relevant - the trust's primary function is supporting the Catholic ministries under its sponsorship umbrella. Those seeking funding should instead contact specific Mercy Partners ministries directly (schools, hospitals, aged care facilities, etc.) rather than applying to the trust itself.
