Community Impact

The Mission & Outreach Committee at Saint Michael is the heartbeat of community service, working closely with the Rector and Vestry to set long-term priorities and engage parishioners in impactful outreach endeavors. Their efforts extend beyond the church walls, connecting with primary community partners and organizing meaningful opportunities for service.

With 452 volunteers contributing tens of thousands of hours, Mission & Outreach at Saint Michael is not just about volunteering but about building lasting relationships and making a tangible difference in the lives of others.

The Women of Saint Michael (WOSM) Gifts Committee is a driving force behind transformative change in the Dallas Community, funding vital initiatives that address critical needs and uplift communities. Annually awarding grants to 60 to 75 nonprofit agencies, with a maximum grant of $15,000 each, WOSM strategically invests in organizations serving Dallas County and those meeting Episcopal grant criteria.

In 2024, WOSM’s impact extended to 73 nonprofit agencies, reaching a diverse array of individuals living in poverty. With a rich history of community engagement since 1962, WOSM continues to foster enduring relationships, empower change-makers, and touch the lives of thousands in need.

IMPACT

WOSM grant funds are available for stand-alone 501(c)(3) non-profit agencies serving the critical needs of residents in Dallas County as well as those agencies meeting the criteria for Episcopal grants. WOSM grant funds are generated principally through sales activity of the St. Michael’s Woman’s Exchange, parish events and activities hosted by WOSM, and generous individual donations.

The Gifts Committee is pleased to partner with Communities Foundation of Texas to provide a best-in-class experience for agencies seeking WOSM grant funding.
