Church Urban Fund Mustard Seed Grants
The Church Urban Fund (CUF) provides grants to enable churches and faith-based organisations, working in very deprived communities, to engage in social action through supporting them to initiate or develop community work. This will then enable groups to either undertake larger pieces of work or significantly improve the existing provision.
This aims to provide grants of up to £5,000 to enable churches and faith-based organisations to engage in social action by supporting them to initiate or develop community work. This work will enable groups to undertake larger pieces of work or significantly improve the existing provision. The project must be directly tackling the effects of profound poverty and should be working in the 10% most deprived areas in England. Mustard Seed Grants can pay for specific activities but not for on-going revenue expenditure, existing salary costs, deficit funding, or retrospective spending. It is expected that work supported under the Mustard Seed Programme will grow into more substantive or developed activities. Guidance on website
Grant requests up to £5,000 will be considered. This is a rolling programme where there are no deadline dates.
All applications must be submitted to the respective Link Officer in the first instance (NOT to Church Urban Fund Head Office). There is a Link Officer based in every Anglican Diocese in England. A list of all the Link Officers can be found on the Church Urban Fund website or you can email: resources@cuf.org.uk for additional information.
