Project Funding

The 2025 ASI UK project application cycle is now open. Please send the completed application form and budget to evangelism@asiuk.org. The project funding application deadline is the 15th of May

Funding Application Guidelines

Project Criteria

1. The project must be primarily evangelistic in nature.
2. The applicant must supply a budget for the project.
3. Applications must be submitted in English on the official ASI Application form, which can be requested via the ASI UK website.

Application Criteria

4. Applications are only accepted from ASI UK members.
5. The Applicant must be in good and regular standing with the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
6. Applications are only accepted from organisations and groups that work not for profit or from individuals applying for funding to join evangelistic campaigns.
7. ASI UK funding must not be available for profit-making purposes.
8. Seventh-day Adventist entities will be considered for funding for special evangelistic projects, but not for regular church budget items unless ASI UK is directly involved with the project.

Funding

9. Funding will be limited to not more than 50% of the total project cost.
10. In most cases funding will be released in interim payments upon receipt of progress reports.

Application Submission Deadline

11. Applications must be received by the deadline date announced on the ASI UK website, in order to be considered for inclusion in the next Convention project list.

Interim Applications

12. Interim Applications may be considered for approval and may receive funding before the next Convention at the discretion of the Projects Committee, and subject to approval by the ASI UK Ex Com, in the following circumstances:
    1. If the Application is received after the “Submission Deadline”.
    2. If the Project is due to start before the next Convention and imminent funds are needed to start it.

    Priority will be given to projects applying through the standard Convention funding cycle. Interim Applications, if approved, will receive funding after the funds for the standard Convention projects have been allocated first, and if there are funding leftover, except for cases of projects requiring funds for immediate start. The total amount of funding, if any, for Interim Applications will be restricted to 20% of the total project value funded at the forthcoming Convention.

    All of the above regular above guidelines apply to the Interim Applications, except for the Application Submission Deadline (point 12 above).

Recommended Additional Criteria

All applications will be considered. Below is a list of recommended criteria (not compulsory), which will give the application a higher chance of approval, if they are met. Your application does not need to meet the criteria below in order to be considered and approved.

• If an organization is applying for funding, its Board of Directors should be comprised of less than 50% family members.
• If the Applicant invested some of their own funds in their project or at least invested “service time” in their project, that will show that the Applicant is committed to their own project.
• If the project has already started that may show that the project is more feasible and achievable.
• Priority will be given to projects run in the territory of the UK.
