Community Impact Grants

Benefact Trust's Community Impact Grant programme supports projects that will make a positive and transformative impact on lives and communities. The programme focuses on funding new or expanded work only and makes contributions to both capital and revenue projects. The programme has four key objectives: growing congregations and Christian communities (including faith development, engaging young people, church planting and construction of new chapels for hospices); addressing social challenges facing communities (projects addressing homelessness, food poverty, mental health and other social issues); enabling wider community use of church buildings (projects resulting in clear increases in use of church buildings by the wider community through new or expanded facilities); and supporting schools and educational institutions (new spaces or facilities to improve collective worship or spiritual reflection, such as chapels and outdoor worship spaces).
