At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- CCX's stated focus is church planting, and its grants pay for training sessions that help churches and dioceses reach new people, so a project that fits that purpose is the right kind of match.
- It accepts applications by invitation only and does not take unsolicited requests, and it selects churches and dioceses it already knows, so a cold approach is unlikely to be considered.
- The annual report shows typical grants running from £4,000 to £10,000, with a median of £10,000, so a request should be sized within that range.
- Relationship-building comes before any request, and organisations without an existing link to CCX should not expect to be considered.

What they fund
Priority Areas
CCX makes grants to selected churches and dioceses it knows and considers effective implementing partners within its budget constraints. Grants enable those partners to facilitate training sessions in support of CCX’s church-planting goals. More broadly, CCX equips and resources the Church to plant, grow and revitalise worshipping communities, and supports local leaders across different contexts and traditions. Its approach is to share expertise, training and resources so church communities can reach new people in new and renewed ways. It helps churches develop health, depth and impact in their own settings.
