Wikipedia's article on Episcopal Relief & Development, the Episcopal Church's international relief and development agency, is a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry. It is reliable for standard identifying facts about its founding and mission, and less reliable for detailed programmatic or financial claims, which the organization's own audited disclosures would need to settle.

Reliability Tier3
Bare Wikipedia community article, tier 3, matching this corpus's settled precedent for this source class. NotesTertiary reference, read directly for this entry. States the organization was founded in 1940 as the Presiding Bishop's Fund for World Relief, created to assist refugees fleeing Europe during the Second World War, and that it kept that name for six decades before being renamed Episcopal Relief and Development in 2000 to reflect an expanded focus on both disaster relief and integrated community development. Reliability tier 3: a tertiary encyclopedia reference, used here only for uncontested founding-history detail that does not conflict with the organization's own IRS Form 990 filing.
