Funding Guidelines

Amount
We do occasionally fund small grants of less than £10,000, but most of our grants are between £10,000 and £25,000. We occasionally fund larger projects.

Religious Status
Although our values are based in the Catholic faith, we welcome applications from all organisations, whether or not they have a faith basis.

What we fund
We understand that a charity’s funding priorities are not always specific project costs, and so welcome applications for developing policy, advocacy and research.

Organisation
We put particular emphasis on organisations which have a proven model and wish to expand.

Registered Charity
We will only accept applications from organisations which are a registered charity in England, Wales or Scotland.

Not Considered
Applications for the following will not be considered:

- High profile appeals
- Major capital projects or restoration of buildings
- Grants to individuals
- Endowment appeals
- Overseas projects (including travel)
