Building Grants
Who can apply: For projects that protect and enhance Christian buildings in the UK and Ireland.
Benefact Trust Limited funds churches and Christian charities across the UK and Ireland, with a strong emphasis on keeping historic buildings open, accessible, and useful for community life. It also supports Christian-led social action that tackles poverty, homelessness, isolation, addiction, and other urgent needs, alongside larger strategic partnerships focused on net zero, heritage conservation, and skills training. The Trust is distinctive for combining practical building preservation with mission-driven community impact and occasional large, invite-only strategic investments.
A mix of open grant programs and invite-only strategic partnerships; smaller-to-mid-sized grants support building projects and community programs, while strategic and heritage skills partnerships can be multi-year and six-figure to multi-million pound awards. Crisis response funding is rapid and targeted, and many grants are tied to specific geographies and faith-based eligibility.
