Every year Episcopal Impact Fund makes grants to fund the outreach work of Episcopal congregations in the Diocese of California. Our churches are at work throughout the Bay Area, serving people who are food insecure, experiencing homelessness or who need access to high quality early childhood education. Episcopal Impact Fund is proud to fund this life-changing work.
