The Episcopal Charities Fund is now accepting grant applications for ministries serving vulnerable communities across the Diocese of Southwest Florida. This year’s application cycle comes with an exciting possibility: the potential to provide double the grant funding to support outreach ministries that are transforming lives in local communities.
Congregations are encouraged to dream boldly about how their outreach ministries might grow and deepen their impact. What if one idea could feed twice as many families? What if one ministry could reach twice as many neighbors? This year’s funding opportunity could help make those possibilities a reality.
Churches with existing outreach ministries, or new ideas responding to unmet needs in their communities, are invited to apply. Every application represents an opportunity to participate in meaningful transformation and to help shape a more hopeful tomorrow for those who need it most.
The application deadline is July 31, 2026.
