How to apply: tips, guidance and application forms for all our grant programmes

To give you the best chance of success in being awarded a grant from the National Churches Trust, we recommend you read the guidance carefully for the grant you apply for.  

On these pages you will find:

  • Eligibility criteria
  • Scoring criteria
  • What is helpful to have to hand to complete your application  

We have split the Medium Grant guidance into repairs and project development guidance and the Large Grants guidance into repairs and facilities guidance. This is so that we can be specific about what you should include in your grant application to us for these and what will help strengthen your application. On Benefactor, when you come to apply to a grant from us, the options revert back to 'Medium Grant' or 'Large Grant'.
