Roanridge Trust
The Roanridge Trust was established by the Cochel family, who originally gave a working farm in Missouri called Roanridge to The Episcopal Church. Income from the trust generates the grant funds, which are used for the "training of town and country ministry and rural Christian workers” of The Episcopal Church. They support creative models of leadership development and training for laity and clergy in small towns and rural communities across The Episcopal Church. Programs to be conducted in metropolitan areas are not eligible for Roanridge Trust grants.
Dioceses, congregations and Episcopal Church-related organizations and institutions are invited to apply for Roanridge Trust grants. Applications require diocesan bishop approval. More information, application forms and instructions about the Roanridge Trust grants are available in English at this link and in Spanish at this link.

Province V Network Initiative Grants
Purpose
The primary purpose of Province V is to support collaboration and networking amongst the fourteen dioceses that compose our body. Collaborative ministry is already taking place throughout our Province, including several networks working on initiatives such as racial justice, creation care, and resort ministries.
In an effort to support and catalyze these networks, the Province V Executive Board offers grants for new and collaborative initiatives that are the result of dioceses working together for a common cause - to forward the Jesus Movement in the Midwest.
$9,500 has been designated for Network Initiatives Grants for 2020. Initiatives may apply for up to $2,000 per project.
Grants are available on a rolling basis and applications are accepted throughout the year, until funds have all been disbursed.
