Social Welfare

• Projects that will help people involved in crime, drug and alcohol abuse to change their lives and find new opportunities
• Projects concerned with the employment, support or housing of people with mental illness
• Projects in prisons and projects providing alternatives to custody that will give new opportunities to offenders and so assist rehabilitation.

Art and Learning

• The promotion of scholarship, academic research, cataloguing and conservation within museums, galleries, libraries and archives, particularly those outside London. Grants may not be given direct to individuals but must be made to a charitable or public organisation.
• Trustees do not exclude acquisitions for collections, but funds for this purpose are strictly limited.

Preservation

• Preservation of particular architectural or historical features on historic buildings or the conservation of individual monuments or structures that are of importance to the surrounding environment. Trustees will not normally contribute to major restorations or repairs unless a discrete element of the project can be clearly identified as appropriate for the Trust to support.
• Projects that seek to give a new use to obsolete buildings that are of outstanding architectural or historic interest
• The preparation and dissemination of architectural or historical research about buildings and designed landscapes and their importance to the community

Records

• Cataloguing and conservation of records associated with archaeology, marine archaeology, historic buildings and designed landscapes.

Places of Worship

• The Pilgrim Trust makes annual block grants for the repair of the fabric of historic churches of any denomination to the Historic Churches Preservation Trust for churches in England and Wales and to the Scottish Churches Architectural Heritage Trust. Applications should therefore be addressed directly to the appropriate body. Churches in Northern Ireland should apply to the Pilgrim Trust direct.
• The Pilgrim Trust makes an annual block grant to the Council for the Care of Churches for the conservation of historic contents (organs, bells, glass and monuments etc.) and important structures and monuments in church yards for places of worship of all denominations. Applications should be addressed directly to the Council. Applications for the conservation of historic contents of churches in Northern Ireland should be addressed directly to the Pilgrim Trust.

The Trust's average grant is £20,000.
