Benefact Trust's General Grants Programme supports projects that demonstrate an impact on people and communities with grants up to £15,000.

Churches, cathedrals, denominational bodies, Christian charities, and schools and educational institutions are all eligible to apply. All applicants must be able to demonstrate a clear Christian foundation or ethos.

The programme typically funds capital projects, not salaries or running costs. The Programme supports the repair, restoration, protection and improvement of churches, cathedrals and other places of Christian worship where changes support wider community use and enable greater impact.

The General Grants programme will close for applications permanently on Monday February 27th 2023. From 28th February, funding for essential repairs and other building improvements can be applied for under their upcoming Building Improvement Grants programme.
