The Anglican Diocese of Ontario Foundation We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith; ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching; the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness. Romans 12.6-8
"Renewal for the Christian community is never simply a matter of doing the same things better, though that is an essential part of it; it's also about finding what new shapes for our life together are created under the pressure of mission. New wines and new wineskins, you might say; the idea is firmly rooted in the Gospel itself."

	The Diocesan Strategic Plan, in 2003, understood the need for a new source of funding for congregations to fulfill the vision for healthy, viable ministry. To meet this challenge the Anglican Diocese of Ontario formed a Foundation to assist parishes and congregations by providing grants for specific projects, ministries and programmes. The Foundation has identified three vital areas for funding: Leadership - The Clergy Development Fund and Lay Leadership Fund Ministry - The Parish and Diocesan Ministries Fund Infrastructure - The Infrastructure Fund Each of these funds supports a specific area of ministry considered vital to the future health and vitality of our diocesan family. Within each fund, the Foundation equips the Church to seize opportunities, overcome challenges and to respond to change, both now and in the future.
