Strengthening Partnerships for Community Impact

The Anglican Foundation of Canada (AFC) has annouced its 2025 Request for Proposals (RFP) for Community Ministry Partnerships, offering up to $50,000 in funding to support innovative collaborations between Anglican churches and local organizations.

Whether your parish is working alongside a school, not-for-profit, small business, or another faith group, this funding stream is designed to help Anglican ministries expand their impact beyond church walls. From youth programs to food security initiatives, AFC is seeking projects that demonstrate the power of partnership in building stronger, more compassionate communities.

Funding will be awarded in two categories:

• Category A – Local: Up to $5,000 for initiatives rooted in a local partnership

• Category B – Regional: Up to $15,000 for projects with wider diocesan or regional collaboration

Eligible expenses include administration, travel, technical costs, honoraria, and food—resources often essential to launching or growing community-based work.

Application window:
September 1 – October 1, 2025
