Summary

Benefact Trust’s Community Impact Grants Programme supports projects by Christian organisations that will make a positive and transformative impact on lives and communities.

Funding is available under the four main areas:

1. Growing congregations and Christian communities: Projects that focus on growing church congregations and communities (both numerically and spiritually) across all ages.
2. Addressing social challenges facing communities: Projects focusing on addressing, or building the capacity of Christian organisations to address major issues in society.
3. Enabling wider community use of church buildings: Projects resulting in a clear increase in the use of church buildings by the wider community (beyond the immediate congregation).
4. Empowering Christian education: For schools and theological educational institutions with a clear Christian ethos, some activity will be supported.

For more details on each of the four areas and what can be funded, please visit the Benefact Trust website.
