We are a grant-giving Christian charity that supports the Church’s efforts in the West Indies and among indigenous communities in Canada with funding for ministry training and relevant projects.

Who we are

Our name reflects our heritage, although we no longer work in New England. The New England Company was founded in 1649 to propagate the gospel in and around America’s New England region, sending missionaries and teachers to New England, Virginia and New York. We’re the oldest missionary society active in Britain today.

“The New England Company’s support has transformed lives in the Diocese of Athabasca.”

The Most Rev. Linda Nicholls, Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada
