Announcing the recipients of Episcopal Impact Fund's Congregational Grant 2023!
“By providing grants to congregations in the Diocese of California, we help extend the outreach of Episcopalians in the Bay Area and support putting FAITH IN ACTION. We know that when the church meets the streets, we are living the true meaning of community, and all our lives are enriched.” –Christina Alvarez, Episcopal Impact Fund Executive Director
With our Congregational Grants, we support the outreach work of Episcopal congregations in the Diocese of California. Our churches are at work throughout the Bay Area, serving local communities that are especially at risk — neighbors who are food insecure or experiencing homelessness, people exiting the justice system, women escaping domestic violence, asylum seekers, as well as organizations providing vital services to children and youth that help break the cycle of intergenerational poverty.
