The Fund for the Diaconate provides vital financial assistance for deacons and those in diaconal formation who have insufficient funds for their needs. Most deacons in The Episcopal Church serve as non-stipendiary ministry leaders, and lack church pensions to draw upon in times of crisis. Grants are available for Ongoing Support, Declared Emergencies, Medical Expenses, and Diaconal Formation. Applications are accepted at any time. Visit www.fundfordiaconate.
