GHR Foundation Legacy Grant Funding
St. Catherine University received the GHR Perpetual Legacy grant in 2008 when the Henrietta Schmoll School of Health Sciences was first formed. Perpetual Legacy Grants serve as incentives or “spark plugs” to spur an institution to transform itself for the better and, in turn, contribute to making the world a better place for all humankind. In particular, the GHR Foundation stated that Legacy funds should be used for initiatives that are “(1) Entrepreneurial, (2) creative with measurable outcomes, (3) transformational, and (4) uphold the Foundation’s Catholic values and principles.
A portion of the grant is set aside annually to support GHR General Proposals from faculty and staff that align with the current aims of each phase of the Legacy Grant. Proposals must align to the Legacy Grant aims.
Phase V (June, 2026 - May, 2029) Aims:
- Welcoming: Legacy V will foster creating a vibrant and welcoming community of learning for students, faculty, and staff, aligned with St. Kate’s mission, which in turn supports student and faculty recruitment, retention, and degree completion through multiple initiatives and faculty professional development.
- Achievement: Legacy V will support innovative opportunities that support student learning and professional development and strengthen and improve degree pathways in the HSSHS and SoN.
- Community: Legacy V will deepen our commitments and connections to external clinical partners and our local communities as we serve our dear neighbors.
General Proposals
Recognizing that innovative ideas evolve outside of the Innovative Scholarship Grants, funds are available for innovative projects and programs across the university. This form is to serve as a tool for individuals to submit proposals for funding. All departments and employees are eligible to submit proposals. As each grant year proceeds there will be variable funds available.
