The Year in Review Episcopal Impact Fund 2025 Impact Report

DEAR FRIENDS,

Strategic, compassionate, and effective — these are the hallmarks of Episcopal Impact Fund as we work toward a Bay Area where everyone can thrive. Grounded in Episcopal values, we emphasize the dignity and resilience of communities facing poverty, ensuring our investments — financial, relational, and logistical — lead to lasting change.

We’re grateful for the trust you place in us. Your generosity and partnership enable thoughtful stewardship and bold, results-driven action. We respond with agility while staying rooted in our mission to uplift the most vulnerable and honor every person we serve.

This year, we’ve sharpened our approach based on changing needs. To keep essential services strong during disruption, we launched the Partnering for Good Rapid Response Grants — investments designed to help nonprofits act quickly, preserve core programs, and sustain communities with dignity and equity.

We also tested new ways to bridge financial gaps when timing matters. By funding a zero-interest bridge loan to a partner organization, we demonstrated how smart capital can protect services, support frontline work, and strengthen communities in moments of pressure.

Behind each grant are neighbors, volunteers, congregations, and partners who share a commitment to a more just and inclusive Bay Area. Because of you, families gain stability, opportunity grows for young people, and organizations build resilience in uncertain times. Our resolve remains — to prioritize the people we serve and pursue equitable, sustainable change.

With gratitude for your partnership, we look forward to all we will accomplish together in the year ahead.
