The Arkansas ECW, through the Church Periodical Club (CPC), offers financial assistance to seminarians for books used in their academic endeavors. Funding is offered on a semesterly basis and may vary in amount depending on the availability of funds. Seminarians may submit a request form for financial assistance each semester.
We welcome grant applications from any organization whose programs primarily benefit Episcopal women but will also consider other programs associated with the Episcopal Church or which benefit women in general. The deadline to submit a grant application is December 31, and grants will be dispersed in the first quarter of the following year. Grants generally range from $1,000-$4,000 and are made possible by distributions from the Arkansas ECW Endowment Fund. Please consider contributing to the endowment to enable us to help more organizations. Your contribution will grow and keep on giving in perpetuity. Past grant recipients include:
