Community Trust of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The Community Trust of the Blessed Virgin Mary makes grants to small local charitable organisations in Brighton and Hove to make a meaningful difference. The Trust offers three types of grants: Community Grants for charities and not-for-profit organisations, particularly those supporting disadvantaged children, young people and women; School Grants for Church of England schools with connections to founder Fr Arthur Wagner for Religious Education resources; and Church Grants for Church of England parishes to advance religious and charitable community works. The Trust aims to fund organizations that improve lives, enhance opportunities, and address disadvantage and inequality including issues such as disability, poor mental or physical health, isolation, homelessness, poverty, addiction, and domestic violence. Multi-year grants for up to four years are available, though applicants must wait 12 months after a funding period ends or request is declined before reapplying.
