Funding is limited and generally equates to the interest received from the capital investments held by the Trust.
An application is expected in relation to all grants. It is a condition of any grant awarded that the grant is used as outlined in the grant application. It is a requirement of all organisations and individuals receiving a grant that an evaluation is provided to show the impact of the funding received.
The ‘Object of the Charity’ should provide potential applicants with guidance as to the areas which can be supported by the St Hild and St Bede Trust funding.
If your organisation is interested in applying for a grant for a project, guidance is available from the Clerk to the Trustees by emailing clerk@sthildandstbedetrust.co.uk. All applicants are expected to supply their safeguarding policy.
Applications should be submitted by 31 December and funding awards are announced in April.
Guidance with regards to applications can be found by contacting the Principal, Professor Simon Forrest simon.forrest@durham.ac.uk.
These grants are administered by the dioceses. For information contact Alan Bartlett alan.bartlett@durham.anglican.org. (Durham Diocese) or Ce Pacitti c.pacitti@newcastle.anglican.org. (Continiung Ministerial Formation Officer, Newcastle Diocese)
