SOURCES OF FUNDING
Funding for Repairs
ALLCHURCHES TRUST
The object of the Trust is to promote the Christian religion. The majority of the Trust’s donations are used to support the dioceses and cathedrals of the Church of England. But the Trust has a general fund which responds to requests for financial assistance from Anglican churches, churches of other denominations and the Christian community. It supports appeals from churches for building and restoration projects, repair of church fabric, church community initiatives, religious charities, charities preserving the UK heritage and other charitable causes. Grants are made out of income derived from the Ecclesiastical Insurance Office plc.
NATIONAL CHURCHES TRUST
The Trust offers the opportunity to apply for a limited number of grants towards structural repair projects. In 2011 it is likely that the Trust will concentrate on projects involving urgent repairs to roof and rainwater goods with estimated costs of at least 50,000 (including VAT and fees).
CHURCH CARE
www.churchcare.co.uk
This very useful Church of England website has sections on caring for your church building, your church’s contents and your church yard; it also has a section on developing church buildings. The Cathedral and Church Buildings Division of the C of E administers a number of grants schemes. These supportPCCs, Chapters and Friends groups in the conservation of churches, cathedrals and their historic contents. You can apply for grants for fabric repairs and historic furnishings and artworks. The website has some very useful information on how to go about fund-raising.
ENGLISH HERITAGE

THE JILL FRANKLIN TRUST

It will fund the conservation of important historic artefacts for example, wall paintings. The trust favours projects where they believe it is difficult to raise funds from other sources and it wishes to see access or knowledge increased as a result of its funding.

Applications to this fund normally require less detailed assessment (though a visit or meeting may be required) but applicants should include the names of two referees from organisations with whom they work.

FUNDING FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHURCH BUILDINGS

This trust was established in 2002 for the advancement of the Christian faith and represents an amalgamation of a number of charities established by the late Joseph Rank, or members of his family, during the period from 1918 to April 1942. The original trusts represented a practical expression of the strong Christian beliefs of their founder and his desire to advance the Christian faith and to help the less fortunate members of society. The trust’s three main areas of interest are: the adaptation of Methodist Church properties with a view to providing improved facilities for use both by the church itself and in its work in the community in which it is based, work with young people and projects that demonstrate a Christian approach to the practical, educational and spiritual needs of people.

Funding for specific items: Art Work (new commissions) www.churchart.co.uk/commissioning/cottam_will_trust.php If you are thinking of commissioning new artwork for your church, the Cottam Will Trust for the Embellishment of Ancient Gothic Churches may be able to provide some funding. It is administered by The Executive Committee of the Friends of Friendless Churches and exists to enable “the purchase for the advancement of religion of objects of beauty to be placed in ancient Gothic churches either in England or Wales”. Whilst its income in an average year only slightly exceeds 10,000 and grants are therefore unlikely to be more than a few thousand pounds each, the Trustees would like the Trust to be used more widely and have adopted a catholic definition of “objects of beauty”. Although they feel obliged to exclude a monument or memorial to an individual, previous items funded have included: bells, paschal candlesticks, vestments, hymn boards, stained glass and statuary. Trustees cannot accept applications from churches that lack medieval Gothic fabric.

The Sharpe Trust The late Frederick Sharpe, FSA, was one of the world’s leading authorities on the history, technology, and music of bells. For many years he was a consultant expert on the subject and inspected many hundreds of towers and belfries. He died in February 1976 and in his will provided a sum of money and nominated a group of Trustees (the “Sharpe Trustees”) to hold and use the capital and income “in their sole discretion” for the maintenance, repair, and restoration of Church Bells situate anywhere in England and Wales. Grants range between 50 and 500, the average being approximately 150. www.sharpetrustees.org.uk
