Overview
The Sisters of St. Francis of the Neumann Communities, a congregation of over 300 vowed women religious, awards grants to help make a lasting impact in communities where ministries are currently or have been located. The Sisters minister in general education and religious education, health care, eldercare, pastoral care, social services, justice education, and other areas of need. The congregation serves in 12 states, the District of Columbia, Kenya and Peru. They established Partners in Franciscan Ministries (PFM) in 2011 to ensure that their Franciscan values continued into the future. To support these values, the Sisters established charitable funds at The Community Foundation in 2019 with proceeds from the sale of property that housed a former ministry, money that was restricted for charitable outreach.
