online through this website.
2. Who is eligible to apply?

3. What do the grants cover?
Our guidelines explain what

4. Can we start work on our
project before the grant is awarded by the Trustees?
Work must not have started at the date the fully completed
application is submitted. Once your completed application has
been received the office will confirm whether it is eligible to
be considered for a grant. The Charity may then give permission
for you to start works before your application is considered by
the Grants Committee. However there is no guarantee that you
will be awarded a grant.
5. When can we claim the grant?
Once you have incurred expenditure on the project equal to the
amount of our grant, you may claim it from us. You do not have
to wait until the project is complete. Payment can be made
directly to the contractor.
6. How do we claim the grant?
To claim the grant, use the online
system and upload both the Certificate that you
will have been supplied with and proof of expenditure.
7. How long have we got to
claim the grant?
The grant is valid for 2 years.
8. How frequently can we apply
for grants?
No church will be eligible for a further grant within 3 years
of a previous grant.
9. What is the situation with
Churches in a Team or Group?
Each church is considered, and can apply, separately.
10. Do Churches require the
support of the diocese to apply for a grant?
In exceptional cases the Charity will accept a grant
application from a PCC without the support of the diocese.
The PCC must explain why it has failed to secure diocesan
support for the application and why it feels the application
warrants the Charity’s support.
11. We have been offered a
grant under the Landfill Communities Fund. Can we use your
grant as coming from a Contributing 3rd Party?
Please contact the office to
discuss your situation and we may be able to give permission to
use the grant in this way.
