Applications for 2010 Pelican Grants closed on 30 June this year. The Pelican Foundation Board received 14 applications and the Board was impressed with the quality of applications. The Board adopted a funding policy and investment strategy in August and this determined that the Foundation had a total of $140K for new funding grants to be provided in 2010.
The philosophy of the Board is to fully fund projects where possible to ensure that the projects are successful and sustainable. The Board reviewed the applications for 2010 and selected projects that demonstrated more than one of the Pelican Grant Funding Categories. The Bishop as President of the Foundation participated in the decision making process and provided strategic advice in relation to Diocesan Mission imperatives. The Board was pleased to be able to fund the following five outstanding projects.
