Belmont Exeter
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Belmont Exeter gives as part of the wider mission of the Christian church, and it supports charitable organisations with similar objects, missionaries and church members on short-term missions, so a project should have a clear Christian purpose to fit.
- The annual report says about 8 in 10 of its 25 grants to organisations fall between £500 and £5,000, with a median of £1,000, so a modest request fits best, though the largest grant was £13,000 and that band is not a ceiling.
- It gives priority to the UK and Europe but describes support in many parts of the world, so work further afield may still be considered.
- It publishes no application process; the church leadership team considers donations at the beginning of each year and recommends recipients and amounts to trustees, with grants made throughout the year, so plan around that cycle and consider whether a link to the church would help your request.
- Organisations without a Christian purpose are unlikely to match what it describes funding.
