CPAS has a long history of making grants to different organisations and individuals. Indeed, the original purpose for CPAS being set-up in 1836 was for the making of grants to enable the employment of additional clergy and lay workers in the growing urban areas.

In recent years the funds available for those type of grants have diminished significantly and, in the early part of this decade, CPAS stopped giving grants to parishes and is now only involved with grant-making in three areas.

Ministers in Training (MIT) fund

• Grants for ordinands, to provide financial assistance during training. Download an information leaflet, application form and budget form.

The Mabledon Charity

• CPAS distributes grants on behalf of the Mabledon Charity, for evangelicals during a difficult personal time, for sabbatical/study leave for UK-based mission agency staff and for conferences/training run by mission agencies.

Society for the Relief of Poor Clergy (SRPC)

• The Society for the Relief of Poor Clergy, although an independent organisation, distributes some funds on behalf of Mabledon. Download an application form.

Please note: Those interested in applying for a grant in any of these three areas should read the CPAS Basis of Faith before submitting an application.
