Human Hurt and Hope Fund Grant Guidelines Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina
A vision of Episcopalians in Western North Carolina – is a future with our shared resources re-directed to crucial ministries.
Funded from contributions throughout the Diocese of Western North Carolina in conjunction with the Centennial Witness Program, the Human Hurt & Hope Fund is a hallmark of this vision. Established to support new initiatives and innovative ministries, the Human Hurt & Hope Fund has empowered Episcopalians to address human need and suffering through hands-on ministries in our own communities.
Since 2005 the Human Hurt & Hope Fund has awarded more than $1.4 million in grants to parishes ministry within the Diocese of WNC that address issues of justice, poverty and marginalization, helping those at risk as we take seriously our baptismal vow of serving Christ in all persons.
The Diocesan Executive Council established the Human Hurt & Hope Fund Committee (HH&H) to evaluate all requests for funding. The HH&H Committee has developed the following guidelines for grant applications and dispersal of funds. PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY before preparing a grant application. Also attached are Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) which should also be reviewed. Close attention to both documents will enhance your experience and improve your funding opportunities with the Human Hurt and Hope Fund.
