The Presbyterian Church of Wales
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Work in mission and ministry fits this funder best, especially new or developing work in local churches, mission equipment, and fixed-term posts for mission, youth or social work, as long as it is included in the Presbytery Strategy.
- Its geographic focus is Wales and worldwide, and its Strategy Funds are organised around Presbytery plans, so start with the Clerk to Presbytery, who can supply the application form.
- No grant range is stated, so ask the Clerk or the Office what a realistic request would be rather than assuming a size.
- Do not apply for manses, general or catch-up maintenance, or buildings not listed as Centre in the Presbytery Strategy, as these are excluded.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis; equipment and building claims need a completed form, estimates (two up to £5,000, three above that), and the latest annual report, and building work also needs architects' plans and details of the architect's professional indemnity cover.
