The Christian Projects grant programme provides grants to support projects that explicitly promote the Christian faith in the UK.

We value projects that set out to nurture and grow people’s journey in Christian faith and grow churches, and only support work that comes from a Church of England context, or, that is fully ecumenical.

There are three priority areas for this fund. All applications must explicitly address one or more of these priorities.

The three priority areas for the Christian Projects grant programme are as follows:

The priorities all have equal weighting, no one is more important than another. If you are considering applying, check that your project strongly fits one of these priorities. If your project fits more than one priority that’s OK too.

If you are applying under Priority 2 – reaching out to the unchurched please note:

• we are looking for projects which are primarily and explicitly about promoting the Christian faith, that lead to tangible progress and growth in people’s faith journeys and that lead directly to church growth.
• we are not looking for projects that, whilst motivated by Christian faith, are primarily delivering social action, such as: general community outreach work, work focussed on reducing poverty and inequality or enhancing community cohesion.
• for work with young people in schools we will consider projects which enhance the provision of Collective Worship and which engage with young people outside the context of the curriculum, such as assemblies, lunch clubs and prayer spaces.
