The Fund is
a Church agency, although the help which will
be provided is not restricted to activities or
interests carried out within the Church.
Assisting
social need is central to the fund's aims and any group
applying for a grant should show clear evidence
of their need.
The Fund:
Encourages applications from new and innovative
projects.
Will not normally commit to long-term funding
of projects.
Will wish to be assured
of the charitable status of applicants where
this is appropriate and will require full
financial information on the bodies requesting
assistance.
Does not provide help to individuals for
their personal benefit.
Does not provide help towards salaries or
budget shortfalls.
Does not offer assistance to
any group involved in political campaigning
whether or not they are associated with the
Church.
The St Nicholas Care Fund exists
to provide help in Christ's name to those most
at need in our society regardless of their race,
colour or creed.
