\nFounded in 1844, ECM is a well-respected organization that has a strong history of successfully partnering with Episcopalians and faith-rooted communities as well as funding grassroots organizations and movements. Early in 2022, ECM\u2019s Board approved a mission alignment strategy that focuses our work on the racial wealth gap and adopts a reparative frame rooted in a spirituality of liberation. In the next 3-5 years, ECM will be implementing this focused strategy and identifying partners for this important work of change. To read more see our strategy kernel.
\nThis strategic move expressed in our strategy kernel brings more cohesion and impact to ECM\u2019s outward-facing work of moving money and people for racial and economic justice and reflects most profoundly our commitment to leading at the intersection of spirituality, healing, and justice. Internally, ECM has a strong commitment to embodying its organizational values of liberation and equity, transformational learning, purposeful action, collaboration and partnership, and spirituality and faith through our teams, practices and protocols.<\/p>\n
