Our grants
Welcome to our grants pages.
We support a wide variety of projects through our grant programmes. From repairing a roof to helping to install an accessible toilet - and many other projects - our grants help people to continue to serve, and to serve better, their local communities. We now offer three types of grant - Cornerstone, Gateway and Foundation. Full details can be found by going to the individual grant programme pages at the bottom of this page, which include information about deadline dates.

Our ability to give grants depends on the income we receive, and the amount of money we have available each year varies. We rely on the generous help of our Friends and a number of trusts and foundations. Sadly, we are not able to help every important project that comes to us. If you are able to help us please join us as a Friend, make a donation, or consider us in your will.
