The Meeting House Trust Funds Committee of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting is responsible for the administration of both the Samuel Jeanes Trust Fund and the Charleston Fund. Both funds assist meetings in the acquisition, repair and restoration of meeting houses and their grounds.

The Jeanes Fund is limited to meetings within Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. It was established from a gift of the Estate of Samuel Jeanes to Philadelphia Yearly Meeting (Hicksite) in 1899, "to aid in the repair and construction of meeting houses." The Charleston Fund is available to meetings elsewhere in the world. The basis of the Charleston Fund was the income from the property of Society of Friends in Charleston, South Carolina, which was granted to Philadelphia Yearly Meeting in the 18th century and again in 1813.

In 1992, the Meeting House Trust Funds Committee became a subcommittee of the Arch Street Property and Use Committee. When Yearly Meeting was restructured in 1996, the name of the Meeting House Trust Funds Committee was changed to the Meeting House Trust Funds Granting Group.

Records of the Meeting House Trust Funds Committee of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting and of its predecessors, the Samuel Jeanes Fund and the Charleston Fund. Includes minutes, files for grants paid, and miscellaneous papers; the latter has records of the Friends meeting house property in Charleston, South Carolina, in the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as the early minutes of Charleston Monthly Meeting.
