Fieldsdene Trust

Fieldsdene Trust is an unincorporated evangelical Christian charity registered in England and Wales (charity number 1139397), dedicated to advancing faith-based ministry through grants to aligned organisations and workers. With a conservative, stewardship-focused governance by four unremunerated trustees, it emphasises sustaining evangelical Christian activities rooted in values of faith commitment, relational continuity, and impactful outreach, primarily channelling resources to established beneficiaries rather than broad philanthropy.

It funds exclusively evangelical Christian initiatives, including church-based ministry, mission work, outreach, and religious activities, prioritising core costs and ongoing support for charities and affiliated workers. Grants go to voluntary bodies practising overt evangelical values, with a strong pattern of regular support for familiar partners and occasional one-offs, showing no evidence of backing secular, interfaith, or non-Christian causes.

Eligible applicants are strictly UK-registered charities demonstrating clear evangelical alignment, a credible track record in ministry, and preferably existing trustee connections; there are no formal income thresholds, though it favours small to medium organisations. Geographically, it supports anywhere in the UK with a particular emphasis on Wales, especially South Wales.

Operates invite-only with no unsolicited applications, public processes, or deadlines—decisions occur ad hoc at trustee meetings. Typical individual grant sizes are undisclosed but substantial, drawn from annual expenditures of £148,000–£162,000 across few beneficiaries. Distinctively specialist, it differentiates through unwavering thematic exclusivity, relationship-driven continuity, and deep Welsh evangelical ties, excluding all non-faith-aligned work.
