OFFICE OF MISSION AND IDENTITY

Edward D. Simmons Religious Commitment Fund
Available to Marquette staff, faculty and administrators, the Edward D. Simmons Religious Commitment Fund distributes modest grants (generally $500 to $2,500) to finance small projects or provide seed money for programs or events that deepen the religious nature of Marquette University. Because the grants are relatively small, it is essential that the funds be clearly targeted toward creative projects with obvious implications for the religious character of the institution.
