Grant-making
Grant-making is an important area of turning our faith into action. Through grants we support groups and individuals in work and development around our values.
We offer grants to projects and programmes. The Quaker Peace & Social Witness Relief Grants support worldwide projects relieving suffering of those affected by natural disaster, climate change, war or conflict. The Simmons Grants work to enable rural young people around the world to become self-sufficient or to support their education.
We also make grants to individuals. Hope Grants are aimed at those affected by long-term unemployment and Prospect Grants at those looking to start up and run their own business. There are also grants available to mature students going into further or higher education. We mainly award these grants to Quakers or those connected with Quakers in Britain.
