Anglican Healing Fund

For more than 30 years, the Anglican Healing Fund has financially supported local, community-led healing projects. As a response to the ongoing legacy of the residential school system, grants from the healing fund are made to encourage and initiate programs that help healing of language loss, cultural abuse and other forms of hurt and oppression.

Healing Fund projects

The Fund has supported more than 600 projects focused on supporting local, community-led healing, including:

  • development of multimedia resources to foster understanding and learning between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities
  • youth suicide prevention through cultural music programming
  • men’s-focused ceremonial gatherings with spiritual and cultural teachings
  • summer language and cultural immersion camps for Indigenous youth and adults

Mother Tongue Project

The Anglican Healing Fund Mother Tongue Project is an invitation-only grant.

Giving with Grace

Through Giving with Grace, the generosity of Canadian Anglicans will allow a renewal and continuation of this important ministry.

Acknowledging the land and God’s creation

This acknowledgement is crafted in light of the Principles of Reconciliation by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, as we seek to live faithfully in Christ and in right relationship with all. 

We give thanks to the Creator for this land, its waters, forests and all living beings, and for the abiding presence of Christ among us. From coast to coast to coast, these have been cared for and nurtured by First Nations, Inuit and Métis through countless generations. 

We honour the enduring relationship Indigenous Peoples have cultivated with these lands and waters, and the treaties and agreements that reflect these sacred bonds. We acknowledge the harms caused by colonial expansion, through frameworks like the Doctrine of Discovery and structures like the residential school system. We recognize our past failures as a Church, including disruption of connections to the land and suppression of Indigenous spiritualities. 

Guided by the gospel of Jesus Christ, we confess our need for healing. We commit ourselves to seeking truth, pursuing reconciliation and nurturing harmony with all creation. We place our trust in Christ, through whom all things are reconciled to God. 

May God strengthen us to live faithfully as stewards of the Earth. Let us walk in love, justice and reconciliation, joining in God’s work to restore all creation.
