Looking for Funds?

Since 1985 we have been helping trusted leaders to reach the lost, the last and the least of the world. We have no walls, no frontiers, no fees and we are open to all but please understand that we are not a bank, nor a loan society, a funding agency, an NGO or an aid and relief organisation. We are not a church or an ATM on the wall of the Internet and we do not send money in reply to messages.

We are a small group of families in England who choose to share their income with people and projects in world missions. For your security and ours, we have a proper procedure to apply for funds which you will find towards the end of this page but first . . . .

If you are looking for funds then click DCI Money Forum to read lots of advice from our 48 years of experience in raising support. If you are a pastor or leader passing by these pages looking for funds for a church program or building project do not apply to us. We recommend that you apply to the MS Foundation. Please do not write to us.

BBC TV Sport Relief and Comic Relief also raise tens of millions of pounds every year, 50% of which is for the developing world. Click to apply.

If you are a student looking for funds for higher education then we recommend that you study the MS Foundation pages very carefully.

If you are looking for capital to open a micro-credit scheme then please study this page very carefully and apply to one of the funding agencies on the list given at the end of the page. We strongly recommend that you study the very successful Five Talents model who provide microfinance and business training to communities who have been economically and socially marginalised.

If you are looking for Bibles we recommend that you contact Bible Pathway to see if they can help you or investigate the many free online Bibles for mobile phones. Click for more possibilities or you may write to us.

Our own DCI Fund distributes small and medium size gifts to approved leaders, students or graduates for their projects, usually on a 50/50 basis or thereabouts. As funds permit, we primarily support the opening of training schools to teach men and women to be followers of Jesus and onwards to be future leaders in the call of Christ, either in a DCI School of Mission, or through a similar or more advanced program that is known to us.

Once a training program is established we welcome applications from the leader of any School of Mission that is currently open and in session to help fund outreach projects in evangelism, mission, leadership training, business to make funds for mission, medical campaigns and care for the poor which involve the students and leaders.

Our criteria are:
1. To make Christ known where the gospel has not been preached.
2. To make new believers into disciples and disciples into leaders.
3. To make life better for the poor, preferably by creating work and self-support.

The legal permissions that regulate The DCI Fund regretfully mean that we are unable to fund personal support or salaries, paying debts and bills, building programs, buying cars or expensive technology, disaster relief, child sponsorship or to provide loans. To avoid disappointment please do NOT ask for any of these things.

Additionally, we believe that covering the expenses of church conferences, local outreaches, revival meetings, retreats and pastors meetings is primarily the responsibility of the local churches and those attending. We may be able to send a small gift for the offering basket.

Like yourself, we would never send funds to people we do not know so we have some procedures which we would ask you to follow to allow us time to think, pray and review your identification. We will need information from you to comply with international money transfer security measures.

“Let all things be done decently and in order.”
(1 Corinthians 14:40)

To apply to The DCI Fund: Send in a confirmation with photos that your School of Mission is open and ongoing with classes, with your name, address and telephone number. Then copy these questions with your one line answers into an email and send the message to support@dci.org.uk

Send your email with no more than 12 lines to support@dci.org.uk at least four to six weeks before you wish to start your project. Please do not write more than 12 lines.

If we already know you that is sufficient and we will reply to you soon about your project or proposal.

If we do not know you and if we are able to consider your proposal we will send you a full application form. The application form will ask you for more information, costs and independent testimonies that confirm your 100% honesty and integrity through written references from responsible officials in church and society. We may ask you to stay in touch with your news and photos for at least six months so that we can see and understand your work.

You will only have to complete this form once.

After a gift is received you must immediately provide receipts, reports and photographs of the project and any failure to do so will prevent us from helping you again later on.

We can only consider one application in every six months.

If we can help you, we look forward to doing so.
