FAQ

What are church grants?

Church grants are funds from foundations, denominations, companies or government programs that churches and ministries can apply for. They usually pay for a specific project, such as repairs, outreach, technology or training, and they don't have to be repaid.

Can churches get grants?

Yes. Many funders accept congregations directly, especially denominational bodies and faith foundations. Some general foundations fund only 501(c)(3) programs, so check the eligibility line on each listing.

Where can small churches find grants?

Start with your own denomination's diocese, conference, presbytery or synod, then regional faith foundations. Our small church grants page lists verified programs.

Are there grants for church building repairs?

Yes. Programs such as the National Fund for Sacred Places fund urgent repairs at historic houses of worship, and several dioceses fund unexpected capital expenses. See church building and repair grants.

Are there grants for church technology and training?

Yes. These include in-kind tech programs like Google Ad Grants and denominational technology grants. See church technology and training grants.

How do you verify listings?

We open each funder's page and record only what it states, including amounts and deadlines, with the date we last checked it. Always confirm details with the funder before applying.
