Capacity Building

Episcopal Charities' Capacity Building Program helps ministry partners, Episcopal congregations, and other faith-based ministry partners realize their full potential by providing the training opportunities, learning resources, consultation, and one-to-one support needed to:

  1. Develop and managing effective governing boards,
  2. Secure sufficient levels of charitable giving, including charitable bequests, and
  3. Increase awareness of their organization's mission among key constituents.

Episcopal Charities also works with members of Missions & Outreach Committees at Episcopal congregations to help them become more intentional and strategic in their philanthropy.

The Capacity Building Program was developed with the generous support of The Chicago Community Trust, the Polk Bros. Foundation, and The Mary A. Ackermann Trust (Bank of America).
