Seed-Corn Grants: Apply now…

About the Grants

We are offering small grants of up to £200 to help new local expressions of rural mission flourish. Whether it is a new gathering in a village hall, a creative outreach project in a farmyard, or a fresh way of connecting with your neighbours, we want to help you seed it.

How it Works

As a community-supported initiative, the level and frequency of the grants we can award are directly linked to the growth of our Guild. By joining the Guild, members aren’t just accessing resources; they are directly funding the grassroots mission of others across the countryside.

Who can apply? Members with a creative, grassroots idea for rural mission.
What can the funds be used for? Start-up costs, resources, or small-scale equipment that helps a new project get off the ground.
What is the limit? You may apply for any amount up to £200.
When will we hear? Decisions are announced on the 15th May (St Isidore’s Day)
