Application Instructions
Prospective candidates must hold active membership in the National Society of St. Vincent de Paul, USA, and be affiliated with a corresponding Council/Conference that maintains good standing with the National Council. It is important to emphasize that individuals who are not Vincentians or members of the National Society of St. Vincent de Paul are not eligible to seek grants through this application process. The grants are allocated to local Conferences/Councils, and subsequently, these funds are disbursed to the local community affected by disasters based on the decisions made by the members.
All 2025-2026 Applicants are required to request an account by contacting your Regional Disaster Chair followed by the Project Management Officer, Brooke Millson. You will then receive an email from Disaster Services Corporation (check your spam folders) to set a password and assess the Grant Application. Keep your username and password handy so that you can "save a draft" and return to complete your submission (note: you must click 'save draft' at the bottom of the page in order to save; the form will not 'auto-save'). A sample PDF of the application can be accessed here.
Also, this username and password will continue to be used for Council / Isolated Conference reporting and future applications
Incomplete applications will not be accepted. Applications submitted by non-Vincentians will also not be accepted. Do not leave any blanks; enter N/A if not applicable.
