ON Organ Fund Church Organ Grants

The ON Organ Fund is a registered charity established in 1984 that provides financial support to churches in the British Isles of any denomination towards pipe organ projects. The Fund specifically supports the installation, renewal, rebuilding, improvement, maintenance, preservation and restoration of pipe organs, including contributions towards acquiring or purchasing a pipe organ. The Trustees believe this is the only national fund of its kind in the UK devoted exclusively to supporting pipe organs. The Fund does not make grants toward electronic or hybrid instruments. The ON Organ Fund is a small but growing charity that in its first 35 years gave over £380,000 to more than 1,000 churches. Grants currently range between £200 and £1,000 but can occasionally be larger. The Trustees position their awards as top-up grants towards the end of successful appeals, preferring to give small grants to a large number of applicants rather than larger grants to just a few. The level of award is usually related to the level of finance that the church needs to raise for the project.
