Applying for a Grant
You can apply for a grant from the Ephesian Fund as a PCC, Individual or other Organisation.
Please complete the relevant application form and email it to [email protected].
After an application has been submitted, it will be considered at the next trustees’ meeting. Applications for grants can be made at any time in the year; however, they will be held over until the next trustees’ meeting.
Applications will be assessed by the trustees for their suitability, demonstration of need and compliance with the Charity’s purposes. The decision of the trustees on whether to provide support is final. The trustees are not obliged to provide an explanation to applicants in the event that their application is not successful.
For smaller grants of £10,000 or less in any year, the trustees require a written report once the money has been spent, setting out how the money has been used. For all larger grants over £10,000 in any year, the trustees require a written report every twelve months setting out the progress and achievements for the period covered and detailing any forthcoming changes to either the nature or the location of ongoing work. Any such changes need to be agreed in advance with the trustees. For larger grants, a financial report will need to be provided as well and the trustees may ask to see receipts and invoices. If the report provided is not adequate or receipts and invoices are not provided, this may affect the future release of funds.
If you are an organisation, please include:
- your current governing document
- your Doctrinal Basis
