The Historical Society of the Episcopal Church invites applications for grants to be awarded in July 2026. These grants support projects that advance the Society’s mission, particularly the preservation and dissemination of the history of the Episcopal Church, its Anglican heritage, and the churches of the worldwide Anglican Communion.

Requests must be submitted no later than May 1, 2026, to be considered for this year’s awards.

General grant requests may be submitted by individuals, academic institutions, or church entities seeking financial assistance to support research and publication in Episcopal and Anglican history. Grants are available to facilitate travel for archival or other research, to defray the cost of research materials such as duplication or permissions, and to support public history initiatives.

Grant requests are not considered for stipends, equipment purchases, website creation, or digital storage.

Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the grants committee chair before submitting an application.

In recent years, grants have supported archival research, the publication of books and scholarly articles, public digital history projects, and conferences focused on church history. Awards typically range from $500 to $2,500, depending on the number of approved requests and the funding available.
