About This Funder

The Church of Ireland Orphans and Children Society for the Counties of Antrim and Down is a historic Anglican charity rooted in diaconal traditions, dedicated to advancing the welfare of orphans, disadvantaged children, and young people up to age 25 within Church of Ireland communities. Its mission embodies Christian values through pastoral care, poverty relief, educational support, and wellbeing enhancement, working closely with local clergy, parishes, and dioceses to address bereavement, ill health, disability, and social exclusion. Distinctive for its faith-motivated, holistic approach, it fosters spiritual cohesion, youth development, and community integration via church-linked channels.

It funds educational grants, home improvements, welfare aid, parish-led youth initiatives, after-school programs, playgroups, training, and poverty relief efforts, targeting individuals, families, and grassroots church groups in need. Support emphasizes practical assistance tied to parish life, reducing anti-social risks and promoting life opportunities in a nurturing Christian environment.

Eligibility is restricted to Church of Ireland parishes, clergy-referred individuals/families, or linked organizations in Counties Antrim and Down, Northern Ireland; no independent charities or general public applications. Unsolicited proposals are not accepted—referrals must come via local clergy with supporting documentation. Typical grants range from £250–£2,000 for individuals to £1,000–£5,000 for projects, awarded on a rolling basis at quarterly trustee meetings, with urgent cases fast-tracked. It excludes unrestricted/core funding, non-Christian activities, and anything outside its geographic/denominational remit, prioritizing small-scale, pastorally aligned interventions for maximum spiritual and social impact.
