About the Spirit Level Foundation:
Initially, Spirit Level primarily made grants for improvements to physical facilities or for purchase of such facilities. (Incidentally, “Spirit Level” refers to a builder’s level, as shown in our logo.)
However, in recent years, we have encouraged congregations to also consider applying for grants to fund congregational programs and projects, including those of a creative or innovative nature. For instance, we have welcomed proposals intended to make worship more appealing, including proposals for different kinds of music and others involving audio-visual technology.
