We want to see the church caring for its local community by supporting the arts, and investing in individuals within it — offering them a way to work differently.
We’re giving what we have, which is £500 micro-grants to support artists’ passion projects and if-only ideas: because we know full well that “art that sells” is not necessarily art that’s good for our health. If we let the market set the terms, thoughtful and spiritual work gets short shrift.
If you have a project that needs an injection of support, then apply for funding here! Do be mindful to read our funding criteria — we are unlikely to fund work that only appeals to church audiences, nor work that is explicitly evangelistic in tone.
We give out grants 3 times a year: in July, November and March. If you submit a grant application, you will have to wait until the application deadline to hear whether you have been successful.
