Transforming Lives and Communities
Since 1972, Benefact Trust has awarded over £256 million to Christian organisations dedicated to supporting communities of all faiths and none. Our aim is to drive positive social change by empowering those who make a difference.
Christian communities are at the heart of our giving, although the impact of what we do reaches much further.
