Finance & Grants
The YBA offers financial support to our member churches and ministers in a number of ways.
The YBA accepts grant applications from our member churches and ministers.
Grant types include:
Ministry Grants - sabbatical, book and further training, along with grants for ministers in training in YBA churches.
Home Mission Small Project Grants - up to £2000
Home Mission Grants in support of planting and pioneering initiatives - medium and large.
Depending on the size and type of grant, award decisions may be made by our Grants Group or our YBA trustees. All grants normally require the support of a Regional Minister.
Grant awards will be closely aligned with our YBA vision and priorities.
Details of the Small Project and large grants will be available early in 2025.
Please speak to your Regional Minister or contact Debbie Gamble by email for an initial conversation.
