Grant Applications

The Compass Rose Society helps to generate much-needed funds through new memberships of individuals, groups of people (who form a chapter), parishes, dioceses, provinces, and organizations throughout the world, as well as gifts from existing members.

The Society designates some of our contributions for various mission projects approved by the board of directors with the support of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Projects from Anglican Provinces that the Society has visited will receive priority in the Board's consideration.

Characteristics of projects that would be considered eligible for approval include the following:

• Addresses an important humanitarian or spiritual need.

• Supports efforts too large for a local diocese to fund alone.

• Serves a large population in the diocese or community.

• Provides long-term benefits to local populations such as expansion, equipping and related personnel training for medical and health facilities.

• Provides support for vital education needs, including providing resources to dioceses and institutions to allow them to provide scholarships for needy students or theological training for Anglican/Episcopal clergy.

• Assists in rebuilding or renovating churches in exceptional circumstances.
