Do you need financial support for your church building project or significant repairs?
… The Congregational & General Charitable Trust may be able to help
The C&G Trust is an independent grant-making charity which aims to support churches, particularly those of the United Reformed and Congregational denominations, in the provision and repair of suitable buildings. They make grants towards the overall care, upkeep and extension of churches and also offer grant funding toward the capital cost of church community projects.
What grants are available?
The level of grants available to URC churches range from £1,000 to a maximum of £25,000. Grants are usually capped at 25% of the total project cost. Grants are awarded for church or related community capital projects involving building work, repairs, improvements or extensions. Any project costing less than £1m in total will be considered. Consideration will also be given to smaller clearly defined and discrete project phases. There are a few exclusions including organ or bell restoration, stand alone environmental projects such as solar panels or heat source pumps, manse works, conservation/restoration of works of art, graveyard or garden maintenance, parking provision and the running costs of the church.
