Methodist Grants programme
Helping to enhance your mission and ministry.
Methodist Grants programme
Methodist Insurance is committed to supporting the Methodist Church, particularly as it looks to respond to increasing community need in challenging times.
Funded primarily by donations from Methodist Insurance PLC, Benefact Trust's Methodist Grants programme gives to Methodist churches looking to run building development projects focusing on:
- Church growth (both numerically and spiritually)
- Community engagement
- Improving accessibility
- Environmental benefits
- Repair and maintenance projects that are essential for the ongoing mission and ministry.
Supporting the Methodist community
Since 2016, the Benefact Trust Methodist Grants programme has awarded over £20 million to enhance the ministry and mission of the Methodist Church.
