Reports, Updates, and more:
How are the finances of Episcopal Women's Ministry administered? Ann Durkos is our Treasurer and she monitors the monies under the supervision of the Diocesan Office. Our monies come from two main sources. EWM is a budgeted line item in the Diocesan of Indianapolis Budget. We also have money from an endowment fund called the Emily Upfold Memorial Fund which was established by the Diocesan Branch of the Women's Auxiliary in 1923. This fund is in memory of Emily Upfold, the wife of Bishop George Upfold who was elected in 1849. A memorial book of remembrance is located at the Diocesan Office to record memorials given to the Emily Upfold Fund. Any person may donate to the Fund in memory of a loved one.

ECW/EWM Newsletter, Spring 2011
(03.05.2011)
In the spring of 2010 the Episcopal Women’s Ministries (EWM) became a viable organization in the Diocese of Indianapolis. This name grew out of a need to identify and be more inclusive of all the activities the women of our Diocese do. We are still a “work in progress” but we have accomplished several important tasks:
Mission Statement – The mission of the EWM for the Diocese of Indianapolis is to support women on their journey in the service of Christ by its giving of time, talent, and treasure.
Goals/Purpose
- EWM will serve as a coordination and communication resource for women.
- EWM will make known/publicize outreach projects and needs by providing contact information for these projects in our diocese.
- EWM will encourage, support, and facilitate women serving in leadership roles at any level.

Funds slowly – almost painfully – come into our office in New York to be granted out twice a year at lightning speed.
