Granting Overview
Episcopal Charities offers a number of grant types.
All are subject to our eligibility requirements.
At the behest of our Board of Directors, we respond to natural disasters or other emergencies affecting the New York area. For example, in 2012 we offered Hurricane Sandy rebuilding grants in communities devastated by Superstorm Sandy.
