Anglican Appeal
$850,000

It is a direct request: the Anglican Appeal hopes that you will go that extra mile, beyond your regular givings to the church.

Will you, it asks, contribute to a special fundraising campaign to help others overseas and in Canada’s North?

The Appeal is a crucial part of General Synod revenues which provide critical help to programs in Africa, Asia, the South Pacific, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean. It assists dioceses in the North, where long distances and sparsely populated areas make ministry more difficult. It supports the church’s Indigenous Healing Fund.

Your contributions to General Synod through the Appeal make possible Volunteers in Mission, a General Synod program that enables Canadian Anglicans who volunteer to work with partner churches in other countries that have asked for their help.

In some dioceses, revenue from the Anglican Appeal is shared between the diocese and General Synod. In that case, the diocese designates local ministry projects.

Your donations, regardless of size, make wonderful things happen – every day, in every part of God’s world.
