Support Calculator
Our mission is to provide meaningful support to priests who have been marginalized for upholding traditional Catholic teachings. Use this calculator to estimate the potential support you may receive through our three-tiered program.
Understanding Our Support Structure
Tier 1: Base Support
Every approved priest receives $10,000 guaranteed annual support, regardless of outside income. This provides immediate stability during transition and helps cover basic living expenses.
Tier 2: Sliding Scale Support ?
Examples:
• Priest with $15,000 outside income receives $22,500
• Priest with $30,000 outside income receives $15,000
• Priest with $50,000 outside income receives $5,000
Up to $30,000 additional support based on need, calculated using the formula: $30,000 - (Outside Income ÷ 2). Support reduces by $1 for every $2 of outside income, phasing out completely when outside income reaches $60,000.
Tier 3: Emergency/Special Needs Grants
Up to $25,000 for extraordinary circumstances such as emergency situations, legal needs, or educational opportunities. These grants require Advisory Board approval and are not included in this calculator.

Important Notes
This calculator provides estimates based on the Cancelled Priest Fund's support model. Tier 3 Emergency/Special Needs Grants (up to $25,000) require separate application and are not included in this estimate.
Our aim is not to create dependency but to provide a bridge to sustainable ministry. The Fund connects priests with opportunities to teach, provide spiritual direction, assist private chapels, and undertake other work appropriate to their calling and training.
Final support amounts are determined by the Fund's Advisory Board following application review. Visit unprofitableservants.org to learn more about the application process.
