The Church Home Society is an independent nonprofit grantmaking organization, closely affiliated with the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts. Our mission is to support young people by providing financial grants to both religious and secular organizations that work with and for youth.
General Guidelines for Grants
The following guidelines reflect our principal areas of interest:
- Programs that support young people between the ages of 9 and 25 and seek to serve their needs.
- Programs that actively involve young people in their planning and execution.
- Pilot programs, or creative and innovative existing programs, consistent with our grant guidelines.
- Programs that, in their aim and spirit, are compatible with a Christian view of life and society, valuing all creation as the work of God and fostering reconciliation and love among human beings.
