Grants Across the Episcopal Church
Regional Grants, The Episcopal Church in Colorado
Each of the five regions of the Episcopal Church in Colorado offer grants from their annual budgets to support locally owned strategic mission initiatives. The primary focus of Regional Grants is to fund ministries based within the geographic boundaries of that region. Regional Grants are made to parishes, missions, special congregations, diocesan institutions, and ministries sponsored by parishes, missions, special congregations or diocesan institutions. Regional Grants are not made to individuals. Learn More & Apply >
Saint John’s Cathedral Grants
Saint John’s Cathedral invites nonprofit organizations to apply for grant funding that supports ministries of compassion, justice, and service in our community.

Through this grant program, the Cathedral seeks to partner with organizations serving Coloradans experiencing homelessness or food insecurity, immigrants and refugees, and individuals returning to the community after incarceration. The mental health of our Denver neighbors also remains a top priority.

The focus of grants for the 2026-2028 triennium is inspired by sources from the “three-legged stool” of Anglicanism: Scripture, tradition, and reason. In 2026, the grant focus is inspired by a C.S. Lewis quote and Amos 5:24: “But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.” Applications must demonstrate how two disconnected groups will collaborate on a project that works toward meaningful change within a local community.
“Members of the UTO Grants Committee are keenly feeling the ways in which the United States continues to grow increasingly fractured socially, politically, and financially,” writes the Rev. Rowan Larson, vice president for grants for the United Thank Offering. “As we see similar divides deepening in countries across the world, we believe this is a global issue that affects us all. We are hopeful that this year’s grant focus will inspire innovative ministry projects to bridge some of these divides and move communities toward justice for all.”
During the last three-year grant cycle, United Thank Offering grants supported nearly 70 innovative mission and ministry projects focused on areas of ministry based on Matthew 25:31-46, including the worldwide incarceration crisis, welcoming “the stranger,” and water-related issues.
