The Mustard Seed Grant Programme is managed by the Church Urban Fund (CUF) and aims to “provide grants to enable churches and faith-based organisations (linked to any faith) to engage in social action through supporting them to initiate or develop community work. This work will enable groups to either undertake larger pieces of work or significantly improve the existing provision."

Grant requests up to £5,000 will be considered. The programme has been designed to enable groups to turn their ideas into action. Some examples of what the programme could fund include:

• Initiating new work – community audits/consultations, needs assessment, pilot projects, start-up equipment, making premises fit for new purpose
• Improving existing projects – trustee/staff/volunteer training, Quality Assurance e.g., PQASSO, Investing in Volunteers

It is a rolling grant programme with no deadline. They aim to have a decision whether to approve a grant within a month of receiving the proposal at CUF.
