Queen Anne's Bounty
Queen Anne's Bounty (QAB). A fund formed by Queen Anne in 1704 to receive the firstfruits (annates) and tenths which had been diverted to the Crown under Henry VIII; they were to be used to augment the livings of the poorer Anglican clergy. The fund later received considerable parliamentary grants and private benefactions. In 1948 QAB was joined with the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to form the Church Commissioners for England.

Queen Anne's Bounty
Queen Anne's Bounty was a product of the strong Anglican resurgence during her reign, caused partly by concern at the apparent progress of dissent since the Glorious Revolution. In 1703 the queen announced that she would devote the income from first fruits, which had been appropriated from the papacy at the Reformation, to the relief of poor clergy, and trustees were appointed to administer the scheme.
