ECSF is a charity created to help Episcopal congregations to respond effectively to human need in Southern Ohio. Our grantmaking capacity depends on freewill giving by people like yourself. The chart below shows how the wonderful growth in support has resulted in a 2007 grants budget more than twice what it was in 2004! For more of the story, read Expecting Miracles: a short history of ECSF.
| Donations History |
 In 2003, most of ECSF's grants budget came from the Diocese of Southern Ohio and the William Cooper Procter Fund - funding which quite properly tapered off as ECSF grew towards self-sufficiency. Today our grants budget comes from the freewill gifts of individuals and congregations who are dedicated to overcoming poverty and suffering. The wonderful growth in support has made it possible to more than double the funds sent to aid local ministry, from $52,400 in 2003 to $122,865 in 2007. You're helping 44 churches to serve over 30,000 people in need. |
| Blanchard Fund History |
 The Blanchard Endowment covers ECSF's operating costs so that annual fund gifts can go into grants. Gifts to the endowment enable ECSF to provide free technical assistance to any church or ministry team, to collect and communicate ministry successes, and to organize workshops and conferences as needed. The ECSF board annually uses 5% of the endowment - calculated on the average value of the preceding 3 years. |
