This month’s featured funding opportunities are:

All Churches Trust

http://www.allchurches.co.uk/what-we-fund/

Grants are available to communities under a number of themes, including “Hope Beyond” (Covid-19 related), and “Growing Lives” (funding for children and young people’s projects). The aim of the organisation, and the grants that it makes are to: building communities, help people in need to flourish, and to grow churches, spiritually and numerically. Grants normally only fund capital projects and equipment, not salaries or running costs and only cover projects in the UK and Ireland.

There are no deadlines, and applications are reviews upon receipt.

An example of a project they have funded to help to tackle isolation can be found here: Linking Lives Phone Befriending Service

They provide small grants of £1,000 up to £15,000 over 3 years, and larger grants of £10,000 – £80,000 (however the average grants generally range £20,000 – £60,000). The next application window for small grants is open from 1st October until 23rd December 2020, and for larger grants is open from 1st September until 3rd October 2020.
