Major gifts

Together, we can make a lasting impact on the wellbeing of clergy and the communities they serve. By making a significant contribution, you enable Clergy Support Trust to provide vital grants, services, and care at moments of real need.

Whether you choose to support a specific project, contribute to a campaign, or give unrestricted support, we will work with you to ensure your gift reflects your values and has meaningful impact.

To explore a major gift partnership, please get in touch with our fundraising team at giving@clergysupport.org.uk 

Donor Advised Funds

A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a simple, flexible and effective way to give. It offers the benefits of your own charitable foundation, without the hassle or expense.

Individuals, families or organisations can add funds, assets or securities to their DAF account as often as they’d like – then recommend when and where to distribute them, enabling impactful and tax-efficient philanthropy.

Clergy Support Trust is happy to receive donations from Donor Advised Funds. To learn more, email us at hello@clergysupport.org.uk

Shares

If you have shares to sell, it is most cost effective if you sell your shares through your own stockbroker, and donate the proceeds to Clergy Support Trust.

If you prefer, you can consider using ShareGift, particularly for small shareholdings. You can request that ShareGift donate the value of the shares to Clergy Support Trust, however we will not know that the gift has come from you.

If you want us to know that you have made a gift in this way, please email us at hello@clergysupport.org.uk

Trusts and Foundations

By partnering with us, you will walk alongside clergy and their families in the most powerful way; by providing the support they need to live well, serve boldly, and lead flourishing communities.

We can work with you to identify bespoke projects for your Trust or Foundation to fund, and we will provide bespoke reporting to monitor your impact.

Livery Companies

In 1655, concerned with the welfare of clergy children and widows, a Festival was held by merchants, Liverymen and Freemen of the City of London to raise funds.

Since then, a great deal has changed, but Clergy Support Trust's mission to serve those who serve remains the same. As does our deep, historic connection with the Livery movement.

We greatly value the centuries-old support of Worshipful Companies and Guilds. Many Livery members also support us individually, by becoming Stewards of the Festival.

Find out how Livery Companies can make a meaningful impact with a donation.
