Overview

The primary focus for grants allocated in 2021 will be on those organisations who actively share the Christian gospel in their work.

Who can apply?

  • Unless you are an ‘excepted’ charity, all applicants must be registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales, the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator or the Charity Commission of Northern Ireland.
  • Their values are based on the Christian faith, and they welcome applications from all Christian based organisations.

NB Organisations with a turnover in excess of £5,000,000 should contact the office prior to submitting an application, to check eligibility.

What can be funded?

A charity’s funding priorities are not always based on specific project costs. They therefore also accept applications for funds to help develop policy, advocacy and research.

Funding Guidelines

  • Applicants are asked to carefully review their funding criteria before applying, as they receive many more requests than can be honoured.
  • In accordance with their Articles of Association, applicants must share the Christian ethos of the Childs Charitable Trust.
  • The Vision of the Trust is to see a world where every person has the potential to hear and respond to the gospel message. The Trust’s Mission, to help achieve the vision, is to strategically fund Christian organisations which actively share the Christian gospel.
