Major Changes for 2019

The Opal Dancey Memorial Foundation is pleased to announce some significant changes. As of 2019, the Foundation will no longer accept new applications for seminarian grants. The Foundation’s Trustees have decided to expand the Foundation’s target recipients to include organizations whose missions are aligned with the vision of the Foundation’s founder.  

The Foundation will continue to fund the existing renewal grantees until they have either graduated or received three grants from the Foundation, provided they continue to meet the renewal requirements. 

Letters explaining the changes have been sent to existing grantees and to the seminaries with whom the Foundation has had a more recent relationship. 

It has been a privilege to walk along side of hundreds of seminarians for over  40 years. We will continue to pray for our friends who are preparing for, those who are engaging in, and those who have retired from this very important vocation.
