OSV Institute is a dynamic extension of OSV that supports the mission of the organization, To Serve the Church. Here are a few of the ways we are assisting and supporting parishes, dioceses, and our partners amid COVID-19.

  • Created and conducted a survey gathering information from our grantees and innovators asking the following questions: 
  • How is the COVID-19 virus affecting your organization and its ability to serve its mission? 
  • How are you responding to theCOVID-19 virus to help serve the Church and your stakeholders? 
  • Directly requesting and promoting ways our grantees and innovators are serving the Church during this crisis 
  • Donated $100,000 to support the following local organizations during this time of need: 
  • Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fort Wayne/South Bend 
  • Saint Vincent de Paul Society of Fort Wayne 
  • Saint Vincent de Paul Society of South Bend 
  • United Way of Huntington County 
  • Providing a webinar on Fundraising During a Crisis 
  • Allowing grantees in need to use grant money for operations or emergency need 
  • Sponsoring a Virtual National Theology on Tap event for Young Adults that will replace the local Theology on Tap events that youth currently cannot attend
