The Anglican Foundation of Canada (AFC) is calling on Canadian Anglicans to strengthen community connections and expand ministry partnerships through its 2025 request for proposals for community ministry partnerships.
The AFC board of directors has approved $50,000 in funding, with grants available for both local and regional projects that foster collaboration between Anglican organizations and external community partners.
“Anglicans across Canada are building meaningful partnerships that extend their ministry beyond church walls,” says Scott Brubacher, executive director of AFC. “By working alongside not-for-profit organizations, schools, small businesses and other faith groups, Anglican churches and ministries can multiply their impact, develop innovative solutions and strengthen communities.”
As in previous years, AFC will consider funding both new and existing projects that reflect a partnership approach to community engagement. Grants will be awarded in two categories:
- Category A – Local: Up to $5,000 for projects that establish or meaningfully expand a partnership at the local level.
- Category B – Regional: Up to $15,000 for projects that establish or meaningfully expand a partnership across a city, diocese or region.
Eligible funding uses include administrative expenses, travel, equipment, technical costs, remuneration, honoraria and food. Applications will be accepted from September 1 to October 1, 2025, with funding decisions announced in December 2025.
“AFC continues to prioritize partnerships as a powerful model for sustainable ministry,” says Brubacher. “This request for proposals is an opportunity for Anglican communities to deepen their outreach by collaborating with like-minded organizations that share their mission and vision.”
