Catonsville Emergency Assistance Is Awarded a 2024 Envision Grant

May 19, 2024

The Envision Board is happy to announce that Catonsville Emergency Assistance has been awarded a one-time grant of $14,000 to make 23 Bloomsbury ADA compliant.

Catonsville Emergency Assistance is a long-time, trusted partner of our congregation and provides vital food support, utility interventions, and social services. Through this Envision Grant, CEA clients will face fewer barriers when accessing services. The grant will fund structural improvements and construction of an ADA compliant ramp and fire egress.

Envision Grants are awarded every year to incubate new and innovative initiatives that extend beyond the church’s annual programs and budget. Grants are awarded as seed money for new projects or programs, not for day-to-day operating expenses. Proposals must fall under at least one of these categories:

  • Ministry Development: To identify new or expanded ministry areas for a congregation or congregations
  • Service: Local, national, or international humanitarian activities
  • Social Justice Advocacy: Work for social change to remove obstacles for all people
