As part of your funding, we ask you to submit six-monthly reports to us. Reports are due on 28th February and 31st August.
Please see below for FAQs related to the reports and your grant. Otherwise, get in touch.
The reports are the Trustees’ chance to stay up to date with your work, celebrate your highlights and support you in prayer. It is vital that you inform us of any role changes that might affect your eligibility for funding (e.g. if you used to work in outreach but now you do more church-based work).
If your role has not changed and your work has remained similar, it is likely that your funding will continue. However, the final decision is up to the Trustees.
Of course, please email the Grants Administrator to get sent an off-line copy for guidance.
The deadlines are 28th February and 31st August.
The Trustees review all reports at their March and October meetings. If satisfactory, your next six-monthly cheque will be sent to your church / charity in due course after the meeting.
The grants last up to 3 years, depending on your reports and circumstances.
Please get in contact as soon as you know you are leaving the role. We support an individual in a role and so funding will cease as soon as you finish the role.
We may still support you if you change your role in the organisation. Please get in contact with us if this is the case so that we can discuss this with you.
Our Grants are person and role-bound, so the funding would stop in this circumstance.

We see our funding as a catalyst for your ministry, which is why it is limited to 3 years. We expect grantees to apply to other organisations and trusts while they receive our funding, which will ensure that their role does not stop when our funding stops. However, if your efforts to find alternative funding are not successful, we can accept another application from you a year after your funding has finished.
If you are unable to fulfil the role due to illness, we may withdraw the funding. If the absence continues for over four weeks, the organisation should get in touch with the charity and we will review the situation and funding
If you are planning to take maternity, adoption or parental leave during your funding period, please inform us as soon as possible. We will be unable to support you throughout your period of leave, however we will usually support you if you decide to return to work after this period. If your role will change following the period of leave, we may need to re-assess your application. Please get in touch if you have any questions about this.
We love sharing the work you are doing with others and will share case studies and photos/videos you send to us. However, we understand that some situations are sensitive and so you may wish to anonymise stories you share with us or explicitly state if we cannot share certain information.
