The 2016 Community Grants Programme is now open. Please see below and follow the links for further information and to apply.
Our Community Grants programme offers the opportunity to apply for grants of £10,000 and above for projects which introduce facilities to enable increased community use of places of worship. We are interested in a wide range of projects but all will include toilets and catering facilities.
To qualify, projects must have an estimated cost of at least £25,000 (including VAT and fees). Other eligibility criteria apply.
New for 2016 is the chance for churches awarded a National Churches Trust Community Grant to obtain a £2,000 micro-grant to set up a Cinnamon Network Recognised Project that meets the needs of local people. The micro-grants will allow churches to set up a social action project such as CAP Money Courses, Make Lunch and Parish Nursing. Churches will also be able to access the support and training provided by Cinnamon Network’s regional Advisers and Trainers.
Our Repair Grants programme offers grants of £10,000 and above towards the cost of urgent and essential structural repair projects. A small number of grants are available at £40,000 and above.
To qualify projects must have an estimated cost of at least £100,000 (including VAT and fees). Other eligibility criteria apply.
