INTRODUCTION TO GRANT FUNDING

Each year the District has funds available to distribute in the form of grants and loans to support the mission and work of churches and circuits across the District. Funds are obtained by submitting a request to the District Property and Finance Executive using the appropriate application form.
Members of the P&FE are keen to see ‘all’ the available funds distributed and being used to actively support mission across the District. However, we also recognise that we are stewards and need to ensure that the funds are being used appropriately. We have produced a guide to provide further information on available funds and processes.  Members of the P&FE and the Evangelism and Justice Team are also available to provide support with initial discussions and/or applications, so don’t hesitate to get in touch.
