How is The Episcopal Refugee Network funded?
By your charity donations

We welcome financial assistance from persons and organizations that share our concern for the refugees. Sudanese and Burmese refugees have been settled in just a few cities in the U.S. so this project is not well known outside of those selected sites. We really depend on San Diego support.

We depend heavily on support from individual donors who share our concerns.

The Need for Donations

The operation of The Episcopal Refugee Network now costs $200,000 a year.  This is a large amount to be raised by an organization that depends on donations. 

One of our greatest worries is that we have no established endowments or guarantees that next year we can raise enough money to cover staff salaries and expenses.  It makes it so difficult to plan ahead!  We cannot afford to hire a grant-writer to help with financial support appeals to the large-scale donors who have probably never heard of us!

We run virtually without overhead, our Newsletters do not compete with other more glossy productions but every dollar given directly benefits a refugee and helps her or him to become a better-educated and salaried American Citizen.

Please consider our services, the devotion of our volunteers and the impact of the support that our low-salaried staff (refugees themselves) have on the newcomers to our American Culture.  My wife and I know what it was like to arrive in the United States as immigrants.  We had the advantage of a good education and of the English language, maybe with a strange accent, to help us and our three young daughters!

Please consider helping us to “Make a Life” for our new Americans coming to us from many cultures.
