2023 United Thank Offering Grant Recipient - Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma — Diocesan Justice Liaison Project

Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma — Diocesan Justice Liaison Project: $50,299

Oklahoma leads the nation in incarcerating mothers and fathers. New Hope at Trinity serves vulnerable children of prisoners, and the Diocese of Oklahoma delivers many prison-based programs. A diocesan justice liaison will serve as an effective bridge between programs, encourage additional and new participation, and provide additional support unique to a social worker.

This year’s focus for grant applications was projects addressing the worldwide incarceration crisis, specifically preventative programs and intervention, prisoner support outreach, prison reform work, or post-prison reentry.
