Episcopal Charities currently supports 83 community outreach programs in partnership with Episcopal congregations throughout the Diocese of New York.

Programs are available to all persons in need regardless of faith or church affiliation. Program focus is in one of two areas:

• Basic Human Needs/Beyond Emergency Services
• Youth Opportunity Grants.

In addition to funding programs, Episcopal Charities provides training to staff in each program and technical assistance to improve program quality. We also work with community leaders to introduce the arts to children.
