About St Lukes Episcopal Church Fdn

St Lukes Episcopal Church Fdn was formed in 1973 by the vestry of St. Luke's to support local and global missional priorities through grants and stewardship of endowed gifts. Recent awards show a pattern of church-centered support alongside outward-facing mission work: the foundation gave $52,700 to St Luke's Episcopal Church for building maintenance in 2024 and $35,491 for the same recipient and purpose in 2023. It also backed international relief through Episcopal Relief & Development, including a $65,000 grant in 2024 for a global relief project and a $21,000 grant in 2023 for the same general purpose. The portfolio includes direct service and community support as well as grants tied to schools, orphan care, and displaced populations. Within the recent grant list, those priorities appear in support for We Are Graces, Rowan Helping Ministries, Sudan Rowan, and The Lunch Project. The foundation’s giving is project-specific and tied to mission partnership rather than individual support, with awards concentrated in North Carolina and extending to other U.S.-based intermediaries serving international work.
