GFS Grants (new forms as of November 2015)

Details: Published: 01 November 2015

Late 2015: There have been some changes in the amounts that are available through the grants. Please download and use these updated forms.

GFS: An Anglican Ministry in the Diocese of Brisbane is making available a limited number of financial grants to Anglican parishes and agencies who wish to provide a ‘one-off’ (special) event for children in their parish or beyond. Interested groups are invited to apply for one of these grants of up to $1500. These grants can be applied for at any time during the year, but will be awarded based on the conditions and guidelines stated in the documents attached.

GFS: An Anglican Ministry is also making available a limited number of financial grants of up to $500 (one grant per parish per year) to groups who provide a Christian ministry to children/youth.

All applications must be made on the official forms found below. Please read the forms carefully and follow all directions.
Note that one condition of receiving a grant is that the leader of the ministry is required to become a member of GFS Australia.
