Faithful Footprints Grants

Since its inception in 2018, The United Church of Canada’s Faithful Footprint program has supported over 560 communities of faith in taking bold climate action. Through nearly 300 building retrofits and energy efficiency upgrades, the program has encouraged communities of faith to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, while strengthening sustainability and renewing mission work across the country.

Applications are currently paused

As of March 2025, the Faithful Footprints grants were temporarily placed on hold due to a program review and restructuring process. Only applications submitted prior to this date continued to move forward. A new application form is being developed and will be available in January 2026 when the program reopens. Several changes will be introduced to the financial grant offering including updated eligibility requirements, additional documentation, and new approval steps required to receive funding.
