Grant Funding Strategy
The North Dakota Episcopal Foundation (NDEF) invites and encourages grant applications from congregations and affiliated Episcopal organizations in the Episcopal Diocese of North Dakota. The Board of Trustees are members of the Diocese. Participation on the Board is open to all Episcopalians in North Dakota.
Grant proposals should show strong Episcopal connections and benefits.
Grants may be awarded to a maximum of $10,000.
