ECORC Community Of Faith Assistance Grants and Loans
Who can apply: For communities of faith; matching grant per application; limited to one application per six-year period.
Deadline: Applications received Feb 15th, May 15th, and Sep 15th.
East Central Ontario Regional Council of The United Church of Canada primarily supports the denomination’s own congregations, councils, and affiliated foundations across its region. Most of its grants go to United Church of Canada entities, especially local churches and church governance bodies, with a smaller share directed to community-serving partners like food security initiatives and a local school. This suggests a mix of faith-based institutional support and modest community outreach rooted in the United Church’s regional ministry network.

Gives mostly to internal United Church entities in the East Central Ontario region, with relatively small grants to selected local community organizations. Funding appears relationship-based and geographically focused, supporting churches, pastoral charges, and a few community needs projects rather than open, competitive grantmaking.
This funder is likely best approached through the United Church network and regional relationships, not a broad public application process. Proposals should clearly show alignment with United Church priorities, local regional benefit in East Central Ontario, and practical ministry or community impact, especially if the request supports congregational vitality, food security, or community service.
