Large grant award
Around 拢5,000 per award per year is available to recognised groups within the 国产无码 which can apply to the Discipleship Development Fund: Large Grant.
Grants can be put towards any purpose that will contribute to the Discipleship Development of lay people in or connected with the 国产无码 including personnel costs, facilities, travel, courses etc.
Multi-year projects can be supported for up to three years and a tapered approach to funding is encouraged.
Applications for grants that only partially fund a project are acceptable, but the application will need to identify the source of the other funds.
Who can apply for it?
Any recognised group can apply, but if the group applying is not an Assembly Committee or a Synod, it will need to gain approval for its application from their Assembly Committee or Synod. Applicants will need to clearly demonstrate how the grant will be used to develop discipleship and lifelong learning within the 国产无码.
