Our mission: To be among the most capable, trusted, and impactful non-profit organizations in New York, responding to acute need in the communities we serve.

Episcopal Charities provides critical funding, and operational support to strengthen nearly 100 local organizations working to transform the lives of more than 1 million people in need each year. Working in partnership with these organizations, we help connect those in need with the generosity of caring donors and the energy of dedicated volunteers.
