Funding for Methodist Projects

Methodist Grants

Benefact Trust’s Methodist Grants programme seeks to enhance the mission and ministry of the Methodist Church in the UK and Ireland.

Funded primarily by donations from Methodist Insurance PLC, the programme provides grants to Methodist organisations to run building development projects and repair and maintenance projects that are essential for ongoing mission and ministry.

The programme focuses on:

  • Church growth (both numerically and spiritually).

  • Community engagement.

  • Improving accessibility.

  • Environmental benefits.

Through this programme, we make contributions towards capital projects.

Before applying, we encourage you to read the Methodist Grants programme guidance to help you understand eligibility and check that your project is a good fit for our funding priorities.
