Aims/priorities: Grants are available to support capital works on church buildings or towards the capital costs of church community projects in the UK.
Who can apply? Applications are accepted from all churches of the Protestant tradition in the UK, but particularly those of the United Reformed and Congregational denominations.
Applicants will need to provide their latest church annual report and full accounts including balance sheet, notes to the accounts and any overview/directors' report.
Grant amount: Between £1,000 and £25,000 are available. The level of grant awarded is at the Trustees discretion and will depend on the denomination of the church and type of work being undertaken. The maximum percentage project cost is 25% to the nearest £100.
The trust does not consider applications for help with projects costing over £1 million, nor does it consider funding for a small part of larger projects such as this.
Depending on applications it receives, the trust intends to distribute up to £290,000 a quarter.
Application process: An application form and guidance are available on the Trust's website. Applications should be submitted by email to admin@candgtrust.org.uk
