listed grants do not fully reconcile with the accounts total — list may be partialextracted from its FY2025 accounts

FY2024: all 36 listed grants are unverified reads (£170k in total) and are excluded from totals and counts (the amounts are printed in the accounts but the grantee names could not be matched to the text).

FY2022: all 31 listed grants are unverified reads (£182k in total) and are excluded from totals and counts (fewer than half of the grantee names in this list could be found in the accounts text).

Application guidance — from the funder’s own website

• How to apply: An application form is available by clicking on “What do we need to do to apply for a FKC grant?” below. Please note that any grant offered will not be paid unless the applying church is itself an independent member of Friends of Kent Churches.
• Deadlines: Applications should be sent to the secretary by email if possible, otherwise by post, to the Secretary – see Contacts – by 1st May or 1st November.
• What they don’t fund: The following are excluded: Work that has already started. Reordering, redecorating (except where required as a result of grantable work) and major new facilities projects. Bells, clocks and organs. Churchyards and churchyard walls, except for monuments of special importance and works to paths, steps, and handrails in the churchyard necessary to facilitate access to the church, including disabled access.

What this funder supports

Based on the register classifications and operating areas of the grant recipients we could match to the charity register (a subset of all grantees).

What changed: FY2023 → FY2025

Grantees that appear, disappear or move by 50%+ between the two most recent filings that have counted grants (unverified reads are left out, so a filing whose grants are all unverified is skipped). A grantee “dropped” may simply have received a multi-year grant earlier.

About this data

This grant list is extracted by automated reading of the grant-maker’s own accounts PDFs as filed with the Charity Commission, and cross-checked against the accounts’ stated grant totals (listed sum 178500 vs reference 125186 (42.6% diff; ref=stated)). Recipients are linked to register entries only on an exact charity-number or unambiguous exact-name match. If you represent this funder or a recipient and want a correction, email [email protected].

Grants marked “Unverified read” were flagged by automated checks as possibly misread from the filed accounts. They stay in the list and the CSV (read_status column) but are left out of the totals, counts and recipient tallies this site computes.
