Bilton Evangelical Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated priority is Bilton, Rugby and the UK, and its giving covers missionary work, financial hardship relief, health, and education and recreation, so a group working in those themes and places is worth considering.
- Its typical grants fall between £1,000 and £7,600 (about 8 in 10 of its 10 named grants to organisations), with a median of about £3,250, though its largest named grant was about £7,900, so that band is not a ceiling.
- Its annual report gives no application process, only a contact for getting in touch, so a short enquiry is the sensible first step.
- The church says it assesses requests against need and whether they fulfil its charitable objectives, and it sets no upper or lower limit.
