Lord Crewe's Charity is a Christian grantmaker with a distinctive three-part focus: supporting clergy and church-based community work in the North East, funding education at Lincoln College Oxford, and making small local grants in the parishes where it owns land. Its diocesan giving tends to back practical, frontline services such as clergy wellbeing, poverty relief, counselling, parish nursing, youth work, and support for refugees and asylum seekers. The charity also invests in long-standing educational commitments, including bursaries and research support, and favors established partner institutions rather than open applications.
Mostly invite-only, relationship-based grantmaking through long-term institutional partnerships, with multi-year diocesan program funding, annual educational support, and smaller local community grants in specific Northumberland parishes.
This is not an open-call funder; most support is invite-only through diocesan, college, or local parish relationships. Organizations in Blanchland, Seahouses, Fleetham, or Thornton should look for local community grant opportunities, while diocesan-affiliated groups in Durham or Newcastle are best positioned for program funding. Unsolicited proposals are unlikely to succeed unless you already have an established connection to the charity or its partner institutions.
