A Growing Global Impact
For more than 70 years, Episcopal Relief & Development has served the needs of the poor and vulnerable, at home and in many countries worldwide.
Episcopal Relief & Development was established in 1940 by the Episcopal Church in the United States as the Presiding Bishop's Fund for World Relief. Our mission was to assist refugees fleeing Europe during World War II.
In 2000, our name was changed to Episcopal Relief & Development to emphasize our ongoing emergency relief work and our growing focus on long-term development and rehabilitation programs.
By the end of 2009, we expanded our work to more than 40 countries and touched the lives of over 3 million people through our core programs. And we’re still growing.
