Key takeaways

  • Adore Church is a Christian faith charity whose stated priority areas are the United Kingdom, Birmingham, Solihull and Nairobi, so a group working in one of those places with a Christian focus is the clearest fit.
  • Most of its named grants to organisations fall between £250 and £3,000, with a median of £1,000 and a largest of £3,100, so a request in that region is typical rather than a ceiling.
  • The annual report publishes no application process, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown there to ask whether the Church accepts approaches and how it would like them made.
  • The report gives no information on timing or on how competitive its giving is, so do not assume a fixed round.
  • Its giving is described as financial support to partner organisations, which a group should keep in mind when deciding how to frame its request.
