Episcopal Charities (EC) has created Action Networks in each of three focus areas: Healthcare, Education, and Environment.
An Action Network is a group of volunteers who come together to address the root causes of poverty through a common focus area. Each Action Network will focus on the most critical issues related to its area; for example, the Healthcare Action Network will address the lack of access to healthcare in the five-county San Francisco Bay Area. Each Network will give hands-on support to projects that they identify, and EC will award grants to the qualified agencies and initiatives that run those projects.
EC awards grants to help agencies create successful programs that are self-sustaining.
We encourage EVERYONE – individuals from faith congregations, social service agencies, local and national government, and local communities – to become a part of this effort, by joining our Action Networks and by identifying projects where EC's support can make a critical difference.
