Small Mission Project Grants

Uniting Church Synod of Victoria and Tasmania

UCA congregations or UCA groups associated with a Church Council in Victoria and Tasmania may seek up to A$5,000 for local mission, community engagement or creative faith sharing. Council and presbytery endorsement are required. Normally a successful recipient cannot apply more than once in three years. Regular property maintenance or fitout receives low priority.

Verified source record

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.
