In order to be eligible for an ACOR Grant, your organization MUST already be actively and directly affiliated with the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany, Allegany Franciscan Associates, or be a member of Trinity Health before applying. Examples of affiliation include: having a Franciscan Sister of Allegany or Associate serving as a board or staff member, or volunteering with your organization. Unfortunately, there’s no affiliation or connection to obtain, it’s more about whether your organization or project already has an affiliation (or involvement) with a Franciscan Sister of Allegany, a Franciscan Sister of Allegany Associate, or your organization is a member of Trinity Health. The ACOR funds are intended specifically for those. If you don’t already have the affiliation needed, we ask that you don’t submit an ACOR Letter of Intent (LOI) which is the first step in the ACOR application process.
