What happens next?
When an application is received, we will arrange a meeting with you at your church to discuss your application and view the proposed work. This ensures that when the committee meets, first-hand knowledge can be shared, so that each member of the committee will have a sound understanding of your project and will be able to make an informed decision.
How often and when does the Grants Committee meet?
Twice a year, in June and December.
How long before each meeting do I need to apply?
By the end of April for the June meeting or by the end of October for the December meeting.
When will I know the decision taken at the meeting?
Generally within two weeks.
When will I receive the cheque?
For large grants, a member of the grants committee will present the cheque in person, smaller grants will be sent by post. In either case, receipts for completed work need to be presented to the Trust.
