Key takeaways

Bath Abbey channels its mission support through five partner charities it already works with, and it publishes no application process in its annual report, register entry or on its website.
A small charity should therefore make a short enquiry through the contact shown rather than send a full request, and should not expect an open call for applications.
Its stated priority is around the world, and its listed themes are modern slavery, disadvantaged people, sustainable farming, climate change and schooling in slums, so a project close to one of these is the clearest fit to raise.
Its most recent annual report shows £6,486 paid out and no grant range, so a modest request is the sensible starting point.
