Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Catholic evangelization and church renewal, one grant at $36.5M
Research subawards to collaborating universities on Notre Dame-led projects
South Bend and Elkhart regional innovation and workforce development
Holy Cross institutions adjacent to campus: Saint Mary's, Holy Cross College, Missions
Catholic media, seminaries, parishes and youth ministry
South Bend human services: homelessness, housing, early childhood

Typical grant

Median grant is $34,578, with the middle half between $15,000 and $101,941. The large checks are two different animals: research subawards in the $250,000 to $1.5M band to university partners like Berkeley, MIT, Illinois and Utah, and mission money topped by a single $36.5M grant to Catholic Revival Initiative that is 17 percent of everything on file. With 1,406 grants to 782 recipients across four years, repeat payments are the norm, consistent with multi-year subaward schedules rather than annual re-competition.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“See Part IV”
“Holy Cross”
“South Bend”
“Research Foundation”
“Catholic”

Positioning adjacent work

Approach as a subaward partner on a Notre Dame PI's federal proposal, not as a grantseeker
Size a research collaboration ask at $150,000 to $600,000, matching their university subaward band
Anchor community proposals to South Bend and Elkhart; enFocus and the Regional Partnership are the models
For mission work, connect explicitly to Catholic formation, evangelization or Holy Cross ministry

Worth knowing: Almost all of this is Notre Dame pushing out research subawards and mission spending, so grants follow existing faculty relationships and institutional ties rather than open review. Indiana takes 271 of 782 recipients, campus-adjacent Holy Cross entities recur every year, and the 2024 Catholic Revival Initiative grant alone distorts any read of the totals.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
