The Cathedral and Church Buildings Department is committed to transparency and we are working with 360Giving to publish information about our grants. This will make our own grant-making data freely available, whilst also contributing to the creation of a common dataset of grant-making data in the UK, leading to more effective grantmaking and funding.
Using the 360Giving data standard, our awarded grants since 2020 are now available to download as Excel spreadsheets below.

We will update our conservation grants on an annual basis, and other grants which the department may oversee, will be published once that grant programme has been finalised. We will continue to publish details of our conservation grants on our Conservation Grants Annual Reports page, and after every funding round for our individual grants, we will share these via our Grants Awarded page, which features awards made since 2021.
As part of Org-ID, the data standard used as within the 360 Giving System, where a charity number does not exist for an Anglican Parish or Church, the use of the Church of England's Church Code Structire should be used to provide consistent reporting of grants. The standard is available here, enabling a joined-up reporting process for these exempt charities.
The basis of the identifier to be used is GB-COE-Church Code
A list of all open-for-worship churches is available - Open Church Codes (this is updated every month).
This includes a full hierarchical structure with a list of church codes per church. This six-figure number should be used with the above GB-COE where a charity or HMRC number does not exist for the church or parish. For closed churches, which may still be under the management of the parish, please utilise the Church Heritage Record to search for the necessary code. Where a grant is awarded at a community level across a parish, such as with food banks, please report the grant to the Parish church for attribution.
This data is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License and allows funders to utilise the existing code structure for individual reporting.
