The Henry Smith Foundation: Christian Projects Grants

Minimum £10,000 per year

• Applications can be made for funding of up to five years in exceptional circumstances; please talk to them before applying for more than three years. 
• The minimum grant you can ask for is £10,000 per annum. 
• There is no maximum but, due to restrictions on the budget, grants of more than a total of £70,000 are unlikely to be awarded.

Churches, small charities, and not-for-profit organisations

• They only support work that comes from churches within the Anglican Communion in the UK, or that is fully ecumenical. 
• The Anglican Communion in the UK consists of the Church of England, the Church in Wales, the Scottish Episcopal Church and the Church of Ireland.
• If your organisation is not formally part of any of these churches you must demonstrate that your project has the full support of whichever church is geographically applicable.

Annual income up to £1 million (priority given to smaller organisations)

• They fund established organisations (by this they mean at least 18 months old and have published their first set of annual accounts) that have a track record. 
• They are looking for applicants that have the necessary expertise and experience and are well placed to deliver the work for which funding is sought. 
• They prioritise smaller organisations and are unlikely to make a grant to organisations with an income of over £1 million.

Supporting Anglican clergy wellbeing.

Grants from this programme are made to churches or charities, not to individual members of the clergy.

Examples of the type of project that is likely to fit, are:

• A programme of peer support, for a group of local clergy 
• Retreat houses providing restorative time for clergy 
• One-to-one mentoring 
• Online or in person pastoral care
