Check the official source before making a decision.
An independent reviewer reopened the official source and checked the material fields. This remains guidance, not a legal eligibility decision, and the funder’s current rules control.
Church-specific reading
What appears relevant
PCV congregations need Session and Presbytery approval; up to A$2500 per congregation each financial year, including linked congregations undertaking distinct evangelism. Presbyteries may apply for presbytery-wide projects; no separate cap is stated here. Funding supports rather than fully funds events. Excludes multi-use capital items, generic outdoor posters, video/streaming/music licences, primarily Christian-teaching events, petting zoos and jumping castles.

Questions still needing an authoritative answer

- Whether DGR status, an auspice or a particular denominational affiliation is required.
- Which worship, religious, property or existing-cost exclusions apply to this project.
- Whether co-contribution, owner consent or internal church approvals must be evidenced.
