About the Benefact Trust Community Impact Grants

The Benefact Trust’s Community Impact Grant programme is now open. The programme supports projects that will make a positive and transformative impact on lives and communities.

The programme has four key objectives:

• Growing congregations and Christian communities (e.g. faith development, engaging young people, church planting and construction of new chapels for hospices).

• Addressing social challenges facing communities (projects addressing a broad range of social issues, e.g. homelessness, food poverty and mental health).

• Enabling wider community use of church buildings (projects resulting in a clear increase in use of church buildings by the wider community, e.g. new or expanded facilities for use by new groups or for new services). Requests for essential building improvements should come through our Building Improvement Grants programme.

• Schools and educational institutions. (new spaces or facilities to improve collective worship or spiritual reflection, e.g. chapels and outdoor worship spaces).

Through this programme, they fund new or expanded work only and they make contributions to capital and revenue projects. Full details on the objectives and other criteria can be found here.
