The Pallant Charitable Trust is a UK grant-making charity established in 1972. Its mission is to support traditional mainstream church music in choral and instrumental forms, rooted in Anglican and Christian liturgical traditions. The trustees bring expertise in church music, and the trust values cultural enrichment, quality, and participation within worship settings. It prefers to fund specific projects rather than provide general support. The trust operates exclusively within a 50-mile radius of Chichester, West Sussex, and gives by invitation only, with no public application process.
What Pallant Charitable Trust funds
The trust funds church music initiatives within a 50-mile radius of Chichester, West Sussex. This includes support for parish churches, cathedral music departments, choirs, and organists. Specific activities covered are choral scholarships, organ purchases or maintenance, and musical performances that preserve traditional church music standards. All funding is for named projects that align with the trust's narrow remit of sustaining musical excellence in worship.
Who can apply
Applications are accepted only from UK-registered charities. Eligible organisations are those focused on traditional Christian church music, such as parish churches, cathedrals, choirs, and related groups.
