ECF grants don’t just fund projects—they transform communities.

Since its inception, ECF has donated more than $5.9 million to promote thriving and spiritually strong individuals, families, and communities.

The goal is not only to “move the needle” for communities in need but also to foster koinonia around mission and outreach within parishes and the Diocese. We invest deeply in sustainable ministries and partnerships, ensuring a measurable and lasting impact.
