Funding Round Up
Project Viability and Project Development Grants
The Project Viability and Project Development grant programme offers awards of between £3,000 and £10,000 to support churches to become more sustainable through the diagnosis of issues affecting the church, by testing the viability of proposed solutions to improve sustainability, and through development of guiding policies and plans that will be implemented through an application to the Heritage Lottery Fund or other large church heritage funders.
This a limited pilot programme. The deadline for a 2016 grant decision is Monday 12th September 2016. Decisions will be made in December 2016. New dates have just been announced for our 2017 grant programmes – there will be three decision rounds. The application form will be offline from 12th September and will reopen in October. The first deadline for applications to our 2017 grants programmes will be 29 November 2016.
You can also explore the Building Advice pages for information on other funding sources and local fundraising including Friends Groups.
Please also see the JustGiving offer which offers churches and chapels FREE access to the whole JustGiving platform, saving the usual £15 a month subscription fee.

The Trust will be awarding small grants up to £500.00 for organisations running events or projects connected with Inter Faith Week 2016.
Grants are awarded for proposals for inter-faith activities by children and young people from Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh and other faiths and those of no formal faith in understanding and co-operation. The age range for young people is 11-25 years.
Priority will be given to projects which:
- Actively involve young people in planning, running, and evaluation of the project.
- Promote positive action i.e. young people from different backgrounds coming together to address shared problems like improving green spaces.
- Are run by non-statutory organisations, such as youth clubs, scout/guide groups, local voluntary and community organisations.
Grants can provide part-funding. Grants are not available for converting young people to a different faith.
Grants are given only to UK based organisations and are given for the agreed purposes set out in the completed grant application form. Grants are for use in accordance with the Trust’s charitable objectives. The Inter Faith Youth Trust as funder takes no responsibility for carrying out the work.
