The Guild's Initiative Fund
Grants of up to £1000 are available to Guilds looking to do innovative projects in their church or community. We want to encourage people to think of new ways of "being the Guild" and of serving the church and the wider community in ways that allow the Guild to creatively meet its three principles of worship, prayer and action.
Award amounts
There is no firm guidance on the amounts of money available; however, a typical grant will be a few hundred pounds.
Eligibility
The grant is open to any Church of Scotland Guild.
How to apply
An application form is available by contacting the Guild office: 0131 240 2217 or emailing guild@churchofscotland.org.uk.

More information about the Fund is available on the Guild Initiative Fund page.
