Our grants
Upcoming changes to our grants programmes
We are making a few small changes to our grants programme in line with our strategy for 2023 and our use of a new grants database. This should make it easier to apply for funding for your church. Tweaks include changes to the names of the programmes and to eligible project costs for each programme.
However, this means there will also be some changes to the usual windows for our grant applications and decisions in the first half of 2023. Click below for more details.
We support a variety of churches, chapels and meeting houses across the United Kingdom with our grants programmes.
Our grants are available to any Christian place of worship in the UK that is open for regular worship. They help keep church buildings in good repair, open for worship and community activities, and allow them to continue to serve people, communities and visitors in all sorts of ways.
Whether you are looking to repair your roof, install a kitchen or accessible toilets, clear asbestos or simply need help undertaking regular essential maintenance to your building, we offer a range of grants to suit the size and needs of your project.
Medium grants (previously Gateway)
Medium grants to support urgent repair and maintenance issues as well as project development work.
Small grants (previously Foundation)
Small grants to support small but urgent maintenance and repair issues or to carry out small investigative works.
Treasure Ireland Grants
