B&A Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- B&A Church makes grants to mission partners and to organisations whose work aligns with its Christian mission, so a request should show how the work fits that aim and its vision for Bristol.
- Its typical grant falls between £1,000 and £4,250, with a median of about £2,500, so a modest request in that range matches the pattern in the annual report, although its largest grant was £4,750.
- No application process is published, so the simplest first step is to use the contact shown and explain the work, its likely impact and the resources needed; for one-off grants, the church looks for a specific need or opportunity with a clear missional benefit.
- Nothing in the annual report or on its website gives deadlines or says how competitive its giving is, so ask about timing when you get in touch.
