ECF creates, curates and distributes transformational ministry resources, identifying and sharing innovative ideas throughout the church. From our widely celebrated Vital Practices website which includes toolkits for ministry, case studies, blogs and more, to our vibrant online learning materials and resource hubs, ECF is constantly working to bring the best resources and tools into the hands of our church leaders.

Since 1964 the Episcopal Church Foundation has supported over 200 scholars and ministry leaders throughout the Episcopal Church, fostering innovation in theological formation and ministerial leadership in challenging times. As you can see from the list of all past Fellows, the Fellows who are selected have a significant track record of going on to share their knowledge, experience, and best practices with the wider Church in transformative ways.

The Diocesan Vitality Initiative (DVI) is a pilot program to partner with dioceses in identifying adaptive challenges and creating processes for renewal, redevelopment, and revitalization. DVI aims to give rise to a more expansive, inclusive vital future for The Episcopal Church.

Raising financial resources for ministry is key for your parish or Episcopal organization. Whether your leaders need assistance with Stewardship efforts, special appeals, planned/estate giving, or if your donors need guidance on creating a Donor-Advised Fund or Life Income Gifts, such as a Charitable Gift Annuity, ECF can help!
