Other Sources of Funding
Looking for a grant elsewhere? We work closely with a range of other RE funders, including the Association of Church College Trusts.
The Association of Church College Trusts was formed in 1979, as a loosely-knit organisation of autonomous trusts. In their different ways the Trusts support and promote the work in education. Although all the Trusts have some involvement with RE and church-related education, each has a different emphasis and some have additional priorities. Some Trusts focus on projects in their own geographical location.
