The Fellowship of the Maple Leaf (FML) exists to promote links between the
Church in Canada and the United Kingdom by furthering mutual learning in our
engagement with each others’ cultures. To achieve this, grants of two kinds are
awarded: Individual travel grants for study and cross-cultural experiences.
These are available to Canadian church-people visiting the UK and church-people
from the UK visiting Canada. They may be for extended placements lasting three
months or more, or for short term placements lasting less than three months.
Grants for church projects, mainly in Canada. For example: Projects for the
development of ministry. Projects in the fields of Christian education and
training, social responsibility, cross-cultural communication, and pastoral
work. Projects related to the indigenous people of the ‘First Nations’ in
‘Assisted Dioceses’ in Canada. Partnerships between UK and Canadian dioceses,
Theological Education Institutions, and church agencies. The Trustees meet twice
a year in April/May and October, to transact the business of FML and approve
grant allocations. Applications for grants may be made at any time; arrangements
are in place for allocating grants in the periods between Trustees’ meetings
where this is appropriate.
