FaithWorks' 2020 Campaign surpasses goal of $1.5 million
$1,617,000
raised to meet the needs
of those most vulnerable in our communities.


Friends,

Parish giving to FaithWorks was its highest in over 7 years, propelling the campaign to its 2nd best result since its launch in 1997. With 85% of parishes contributing to the effort, and an enthusiastic response from direct mail, online giving and businesses, the 2020 Campaign raised $1,617,000 – well above the campaign goal.

Fueled by 2 matching gift challenges and pandemic inspired urgency, Anglicans from across the Diocese opened their hearts and wallets in response to the challenge. 

Thank you to every one of our FaithWorks donors; individuals, parishes, corporations and foundations. Because of your generosity, FaithWorks’ ministry partners are able to have a transformative effect in the lives of thousands of people.

FaithWorks believes that God’s love will change the world. We believe that, with God’s help, there is no challenge too intractable to overcome. We believe that it is possible to build communities of love, manifest in hope, compassion, peace and justice. Thank you for believing too!
