John James Charitable Trust

John James Charitable Trust grants

The John James Charitable Trust gives grants to individuals and organisations involved in ministry with a Christian focus. It no longer funds individual students in theological training (it funds selected Christian training organisations through bursary schemes instead), but still considers people in church-based Minister-in-Training roles. Applications are accepted in April and November only, after a two-question eligibility check.
