The Church Home Society is an independent nonprofit corporation related to the Episcopal Church. Its objective is to provide support to young persons through a program of making financial grants to both religious and secular organizations which work with and/or for young persons, and further to provide such support in other ways as may be determined to be useful by the society.
General Guidelines for Grants
The following general guidelines for grants reflect the society’s principal areas of interest:
