Policy on Grant Making

The organisation will look to make grants to churches in order to enable them to deliver their programme of promoting Christianity throughout the Borough whether this is by way of making grants towards capital projects or towards income projects. Grants will be made towards projects that can be demonstrated to promote all aspects of the Christian religion.

It is intended that the minimum grant would be £500 and the maximum grant will depend on the income of the organisation.

The organisation would intend to monitor the impact of the grants it makes by asking for follow up reports from those to whom grants were made. The precise requirements of the follow-up reports and the timetable would depend on the type and amount of grant made, the nature of the project involved etc.

Contribution made by volunteers

There are no volunteers involved with the Charity, other than the Trustees themselves.
