Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church awarded £14,000 across seven organisations, and its grants have gone to Baptist denominational bodies, missionary work and Baptist colleges, so work close to Baptist or Christian mission is the clearest fit.
- Its typical grant band is £1,000 to £7,300 with a median of £1,000, so a modest request of around £1,000 suits its record better than a large one.
- It publishes no application process, so the sensible first step is to get in touch using the contact shown on its website before writing a full proposal.
- Its stated geographic focus is the United Kingdom, and no other condition or exclusion is named, so do not assume an organisation is ruled out.
