Centered in downtown Rochester’s Sacred Heart Cathedral, the Cathedral Community has a long history of community service in the form of regular religious services and other forms of engagement. Its regional anti-poverty initiatives include the distribution of grants through its DeVany Fund.
The DeVany Fund is dedicated to financially supporting ministries, agencies, and other groups that address issues of poverty in the Rochester community. Over the years, it has awarded grants to further initiatives that range from academic tutoring and job training to winter clothing distribution and indigent burial. Although DeVany Fund grants may range from $500 to $5,000, the average grant is between $1,500 and $2,000. The Cathedral Community awards DeVany grants on an annual basis.
