The Anglican Foundation of Canada was established in 1957 to encourage and support ministry within the Anglican Church of Canada where the need was greatest. The Foundation has provided support through loans and grants for a vast array of infrastructure projects, such as church and rectory renovations, washroom and kitchen installations, and accessibility improvements. The Foundation’s funding program also supports theological education and innovative ministry projects. In 2017, the Anglican Foundation celebrated 60 years of supporting ministry in the Canadian Church. There are twelve board directors from across the country who make decisions regarding grants, exercise financial oversight, and set the strategic direction. The board is chaired by the Most Rev. Fred Hiltz, Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, and the day-to-day operations are managed by Executive Director Judy Rois. Mission The Anglican Foundation of Canada seeks to foster Anglican presence by providing abundant resources for innovative ministry and diverse infrastructure projects and theological formation throughout the Canadian church
