Amen Corner Trust

The Amen Corner Trust is a registered charity in England and Wales (number 1134380), dedicated to advancing the Christian faith in accordance with Church of England doctrine. Established to promote religious services, spiritual education, missionary activities, and aligned charitable initiatives across the UK and internationally, it embodies conservative Anglican values of stewardship, faith-based community support, and direct religious impact. Governed by trustees, the Trust prioritizes strengthening local faith communities through modest, targeted grants that uphold historic Anglican principles.

It funds church repairs, parish projects, faith-based education programs, community outreach, missionary endeavors, and poverty relief strictly within Church of England parameters. Beneficiaries include local churches, grassroots faith initiatives in the London Borough of Wandsworth (its primary focus), and individuals in ministry or religious study, emphasizing practical Christian witness over broader social causes.

Eligible applicants are Christian organizations or individuals closely tied to Anglican missions; there are no formal income thresholds, though smaller entities are preferred, with no geographic restrictions beyond alignment with objects. Unsolicited applications are not accepted—funding is invite-only, decided discretionarily at ad hoc trustee meetings with no deadlines or online process.

Typical grants range from £1,000 to £10,000, often smaller for direct religious needs. The Trust excludes secular projects, non-Anglican faiths, or unrestricted/core costs unrelated to its mission, distinguishing itself through its unwavering doctrinal fidelity, Wandsworth-centric localism, and trustee-led, faith-pure grant-making model.
