Grant applications open for 2024 Episcopal creation care projects

The Episcopal Church’s Task Force on the Care of Creation and Environmental Racism is offering an additional round of grant funding for up to eight projects that seek to bolster creation care and environmental justice work. The deadline to apply online is March 22.

A total of $100,000 is available for funding eco-ministry projects that address climate change, environmental degradation, and the inequitable and systemic impacts of environmental racism. The grant committee is interested in supporting programs that go beyond secular environmental work to provide resources for faith-based community organizing and theological reflection.

As with the previous funding round, projects that support The Episcopal Church’s goal of reaching net carbon neutrality by 2030 will be favorably considered, along with projects that develop climate change resiliency. Read about last year’s recipients.

In 2022, The Episcopal Church’s General Convention allocated funds to the task force to continue supporting local and regional eco-ministry efforts, recognizing “care of creation and environmental justice as integral and ongoing parts of the church’s loving, liberating, and life-giving work.”
