Episcopal Community Services of Northern California (ECS)
2017-18 Ministry Development Fund Grants
Guidelines for Development or Expansion of Social Service
and Health Ministries
The guidelines are purposely short to encourage creativity and innovation for outreach ministries. Responses should be clear and complete and include concrete data to demonstrate the need and achievability of the proposed
ministry. The ECS Board of Directors intends these grants to reflect:
The ministry must focus on one or more of the following:
If a grant is awarded, the recipient congregation must agree to provide operational, experiential and resource information to other congregations in the Episcopal Diocese of Northern California, the Episcopal Church, or associated agencies.
Recipients agree to comply with mid-year and end-of-year reporting requirements, and acknowledge that failure to report will result in loss of eligibility to apply for another grant the following year.
