OUR MISSION
To be one of the most capable, trusted and impactful non-profit organizations in New York, responding to acute need in the communities we serve.
In the true spirit of outreach, every program is free of religious content, welcoming one and all.
LEADERSHIP LETTER
Dear Friends,
Each year with the help of our Advisory Committee, we carefully evaluate grant applications and make the difficult decisions required of grant-making organizations. With so much need and so many grant requests, how can we make the greatest impact, consistent with our Mission?
In pursuit of our Mission, we benefit from a deep and extensive network of grantee organizations that do vital charitable work in the communities we serve, and are important to and collaborate with the churches of the Episcopal Diocese of New York, which stretches from Staten Island, through New York City and up through the Hudson Valley. We believe our church and grantee partners, spread across the diverse geographic footprint of the Diocese, allow us to identify and address acute need where few of our peers are present. In many cases, our grantee partners are providing for their clients in a way that would otherwise be absent without their work. Whereas our Support Map below provides a visual guide of where we make grants, the essential nature of our grants to our communities is difficult to depict.
Importantly, our grants include both cash grants and program support grants such as for food credits associated with our Bulk Buy and Farm-to-Pantry programs. These program support grants are made possible by the extraordinary generosity of our indispensable grantor partners, who collaborate with us and share our mission objectives. We are grateful for their partnership.
A more thorough examination of our 2023 annual results may be viewed in our 2023 annual report letter and financials.

EC’S TRANSFORMATIVE IMPACT
As a community of outreach programs, Episcopal Charities is distinguished by the deep connections each of the 190 parishes within our network has to the respective communities they serve throughout the ten counties that make up the Episcopal Diocese of New York.
Beginning in 2021 we began developing and operating our own innovative programs that respond to need in real time – primary examples of which are Bulk Buy and Farm to Pantry. Because our supported programs are located both in the City and scattered throughout the Hudson Valley, we are given a unique perspective and have access to real-time data from organizations and people with lived experiences “on the ground” in each individual community.
Our food access programs, Bulk Buy and Farm to Pantry, were incubated in 2021 and expanded in 2022 to help our food access program partners have reliable and convenient sources of healthy, culturally appropriate foods that meet their particular communities’ needs. Both programs bridge gaps in existing food systems and provide long term solutions for insuring a there is a consistent infusion of healthy foods into local communities which impact health outcomes, provide dignity in choice, and increase likelihood of consumption through cultural familiarity.
Youth Opportunity Grants
Total awarded: $xxx,xxx.00
Youth Opportunity Grants are awarded, with consultation from our Advisory Committee to parish-based outreach programs addressing the needs of children and youth in communities throughout the diocese by providing English as a Second Language tutoring, academic enrichment, instruction in the arts, and safe spaces for youth to grow and develop. With a growing mental health crisis among youth and teen populations, some of the most vulnerable among us are our youth. These programs act as a stabilizing presence and fulfill an important component of the social safety net.
