If your church is working on community outreach projects in 2018, you may be eligible to receive support from the Wiltshire Community Foundations Main Grants (up to 15k over 3 years: deadline 22 Feb 2018) or Small Grants (up to 4k over 2 years: deadline 1 Feb 2018).
While the website states that the funding cant be specifically for the advancement of religion, the trust is open to supporting church activities that benefit local communities and the trust managers are warm to Christian work.
