Emergency Grants

The Emergency Grants Program evolved from the COVID-19 Emergency Grants Program initiated in April 2020. Any Episcopal deacon who is in good standing with their diocese and who has sustained a financial loss that limits their ministry is eligible to apply to the Fund for an Emergency Grant. 

The Emergency Grants program can provide up to $5,000 to assist with consequential financial losses due to a Federal-, State-, or Local- declared emergency that results in loss of income or housing. Eligible declared emergencies include fire, weather, or fiscal impact (e.g. COVID-19). 

Additional information is available in the FAQs.
