  • The Episcopal Foundation of Northern California has joyfully committed to continue our Foundation Grant program available to churches and missions throughout our Diocese in 2025.

    Supporting the Diocesan mission of making disciples, raising up saints, and transforming communities for Christ, the Foundation will endeavor to enhance ministry and outreach in the Diocese in the following six categories:

    • Congregational Discipleship
    • Evangelism
    • Environment
    • Feeding hungry people
    • Serving and supporting Immigrants
    • LGBTQ+ ministries

    Any of the above categories may also include work reflecting the diocesan priority of addressing and healing the wounds of racism.

    Grants are generally expected to be within the range of $1,500 to $3,500.

    Timeline:

    • Applications due Friday, July 25
