Our Mission

The mission of the Foundation for the Episcopal Diocese of Wyoming is to raise, manage, and distribute financial resources to support and inspire our congregations as we share in God’s work of ministry and outreach.

The EFWY Grants initiative is an effort designed to stimulate vitality in congregations by encouraging them to grow in mission. As you prepare your grant application, we ask you prayerfully reflect on how your program or project will accomplish the following:

• Strengthen the Episcopal Congregation in its Mission.
• Invite people into outreach and social ministries.
• Provide forming and learning opportunities to various age and interest groups in the congregation.
• Identify qualifications, gifts, skills and callings of members and connect members with appropriate ministry opportunities.
• Equip members for ministry in their daily work and lives.
• Support others in time of need or difficulty.

While the committee has yet to adopt guidelines for all aspects of requests, you should note that in the past capital expenditures were not the subject of awards unless clearly demonstrating a ministry to the larger community (i.e., beyond the Episcopal Congregation)
