Alongside Hope (formerly The Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund) is the Anglican Church of Canada’s agency for sustainable development, relief, refugees, and global justice. With the support of Anglican parishes across Canada, Alongside Hope makes financial and human resources available to support partners’ initiatives and to promote knowledgeable actions of solidarity at home and around the world.

Alongside Hope strives to be a part of the outreach ministry of every Canadian Anglican parish and an expression for all Anglicans of their baptismal covenant to strive for justice and peace and to respect the dignity of every human being. Our mission is a truly just, healthy and peaceful world.

Alongside Hope connects Anglicans in Canada with communities in more than 30 countries who work with partners to advance development, respond to emergencies, assist refugees and act for positive change.

Alongside Hope partners include Anglican dioceses, ecumenical and lay partners. They work with local community leaders and people to identify needs and the most appropriate responses to those needs.

Alongside Hope partners deliver programs that enable vulnerable people to improve the quality of their daily lives, become more self-reliant and address the root causes of poverty and injustice. Priority areas include maternal, newborn and child health, food security, HIV/AIDS and microfinance.
