We envision a surge of active partnerships between congregations and their communities, strengthening our social fabric through collective action.

We are CWC
Dedicated to bridging the gap between congregations and communities, CWC fosters collaboration to address pressing social opportunities together. Funded by the Lilly Endowment through the Center for Congregations, CWC empowers congregations and community partners to identify and solve problems, providing grants and resources to help build sustainable, impactful solutions.
We combine the power of congregations and their communities.

We have the strength of congregations and communities on our side. Unity has the power to bring great change.

We work together to find solutions to problems within our communities. No issue is too big or small when it comes to the welfare of our people.

At CWC, we offer grants to address community needs with solutions that create positive change. We empower you to make a difference.
What are the grants for?
Our mission is to energize collaboration between congregations and community partners with shared values to address social opportunities as one unified voice.
Social opportunities could include addressing environmental issues, social justice issues, homelessness, immigration, literacy, teen pregnancy, employment, and a host of other issues.
