“For over 40 years, Episcopal Impact Fund has proudly honored our city’s patron, St. Francis, who taught us to ‘preach the gospel. Sometimes use words.’ Their dedication to lifting up our most vulnerable and confronting the scourge of poverty in our community has inspired countless people to live their faith through action. The 2020 Night of Light event is a beautiful celebration of Episcopal Impact Fund’s extraordinary service to the Bay Area and the tireless individuals who strengthen and enrich our community.” -CONGRESSWOMAN NANCY PELOSI, SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE
Episcopal Impact Fund was made for times such as these.
Episcopal Impact Fund serves organizations that address the root causes of poverty in the Bay Area, both financially and through mentorship and guidance. Inspired by the teachings of the Gospel, we share a vision of a Bay Area without poverty.
