Diocesan Partnership Program

Every Episcopal diocese is unique, and each faces a diverse set of opportunities and challenges as they strive to support their congregations and members to live out the Gospel.

ECF works with dozens of dioceses nationwide, helping them to provide holistic, spiritually grounded leadership and financial resource development assistance to their congregations.

This program can be specifically adapted to meet a diocese’s unique needs. For example:

• In one diocese, when a congregation is ready for a capital campaign, the diocese picks up the cost. In return, congregations tithe back to the diocese and the funds are used to plant new churches.
• Another diocese provides a subscription to Vestry Paper for all its congregations, and works with ECF to provide leadership training workshops and seminars in areas of need.
• Yet another has partnered with ECF to manage their endowment and work with their congregations to help them vision, administer, manage, and invest their own endowments.
