The Episcopal Foundation of Northern California has joyfully committed to continue our Foundation Grant program available to churches and missions throughout our Diocese in 2026.
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 three categories:
-
Forming and Growing Faith Communities
(Ex. Congregational Discipleship and Evangelism)
-
Loving Our Neighbors
(Ex. Feeding the Hungry, Immigrant Support, LGBTQ+ Ministries)
-
Caring for God’s Creation
(Ex. Environmental ministries and sustainability initiatives)
Any of the above categories may also include work reflecting the diocesan priority of addressing and healing the wounds of racism.
A total of $25,000 will be granted this year with individual grants up to a maximum of $5,000.
Timeline:
