Key takeaways

  • The Anglican Consultative Council works to advance the Christian religion by promoting the unity and purposes of Anglican Communion churches in mission, evangelism, ecumenical relations and communication, so your project fits best if it clearly serves that work.
  • Its annual report gives annual giving of £146,593, but that single total may include grants to individuals, and neither a typical grant size nor a largest grant is stated, so ask the funder before settling on an amount.
  • No application process is published, so start with a short enquiry to find out whether it accepts applications and how, bearing in mind that grants are paid once a request has been both received and approved.
  • Much of its money is restricted to the purposes for which it was originally donated, so check that funds are available for your specific aim.
  • Its published geographic focus is not stated, and the annual report does not say when decisions are made or how competitive its giving is, so confirm both directly.

Overview

The Anglican Consultative Council is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1137273).

What they fund

Profile based on the charity's Charity Commission register entry and annual report (year to 31 December 2025) only. Every statement is checked against them. Sources read on 30 October 2026.

Priority Areas

The Council advances the Christian religion by promoting the unity and purposes of the Churches of the Anglican Communion in mission, evangelism, ecumenical relations, communication, administration and finance. It supports the common life of those churches by resourcing the Communion’s Instruments to develop agreed Anglican policies for world mission and to encourage and guide Anglican participation in ecumenical dialogue and inter-faith work internationally. Grants are administered for the restricted purposes for which the funds were originally donated. The Council receives grants and donations used for a mixture of its unrestricted costs and specific restricted projects covering the work of the Communion.

How to apply

Applications are received and approved; grants are paid as soon as both steps are complete.
