Methodist Grants programme

Funded primarily by donations from Methodist Insurance PLC, Benefact Trust’s Methodist Grants programme is helping to enhance the mission and ministry of the Methodist Church.

Methodist Grants programme

Methodist Insurance is committed to continuing to do all we can to support the mission and ministry of the Methodist Church, particularly as it looks to respond to increasing community need in these challenging times.

Funded primarily by donations from Methodist Insurance PLC, Benefact Trust's Methodist Grants programme provides grants to Methodist churches to run building development projects that focus on church growth (both numerically and spiritually), community engagement and improving accessibility, with applicants encouraged to demonstrate a focus on energy efficiency.

Recent changes to the Methodist Grants Programme mean funding is now available for repair and maintenance projects that are essential for the ongoing mission and ministry of a Methodist church.

You can find out more about the programme, apply for funding and take a look at some case studies from churches that have benefited from a grant.
