Let's Make an Impact Together!

Episcopal Impact Fund promotes innovative, long-term solutions to addressing the root causes of poverty in the San Francisco Bay Area.  In 2023, we will make unrestricted grants of up to $50,000 to nonprofits who address the root causes of poverty in the Bay Area by reducing the barriers to housing stability for our most vulnerable neighbors.  This includes organizations providing permanent supportive housing or interim housing with comprehensive support services, prioritizing programs for families, youth or young adults. Interim housing may include, but is not limited to, transitional housing, emergency shelter or other shelter programs, bridge housing, inclement weather shelter, and safe parking sites.
