Regular GrantsApplications for regular grants are received from individuals, organizations or ecclesiastical groups. Requests for supporting significant research, conferences, and publication relating to the history of the Episcopal Church as well as the Anglican church in the worldwide Anglican Communion are welcome. A typical request may include travel funding, research expenses, or funds to support of a larger project. Examples of past grants awarded include support of a documentary film, dissertation research, publication of books and articles, and support of a history conference. Regular grants are generally funded for $500-$2,000, depending on the number of grants approved and funds available. APPLICATION SUBMISSION
Regular Grant applications include:
Robert W. Prichard Award applications include (next awarded 2022):
| Robert W. Prichard PrizeThis prize will be next awarded in July 2022. The application process opens February 1, 2022. The Robert W. Prichard Prize recognizes the best Ph.D., Th.D., or D.Phil. dissertation which considers the history of the Episcopal Church (including 17th and 18th century British colonies that became the United States) as well as the Anglican church in the worldwide Anglican Communion. The prize is named to honor the Rev. Dr. Robert W. Prichard, a noted historian and author in the discipline who was a longtime member and President of the Historical Society Board. Applicants may submit a dissertation for consideration successfully defended between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2021. It may be submitted by the author or on their behalf. The dissertation need not focus solely, or even principally, on the history of the Episcopal Church or Anglicanism. The selection committee welcomes dissertations which place that history in conjunction with other strands of church history, or even place it in dialogue with non-ecclesial themes of American history. The Episcopal or Anglican element of the work should be a constitutive, not peripheral, part of the dissertation. Submissions should be a full electronic version of the dissertation, complete with all scholarly apparatus. The recipient will receive a $2,000 prize. |
Recipients must return a Grant Acceptance Form before funds will be released. The Form provides requirements including return of a W-9 or other documentation, attribution in any publication drawn upon the project supported, submission of a report of accomplishments, and permission for the Historical Society to publish recipients' names and titles of research or projects. It is expected recipients will make submission to Anglican and Episcopal History, when appropriate. A 1099 will be provided at the end of the tax year as grants may be taxable — consult with your tax adviser. | Grants Awarded Announced in July |
