Bookham Baptist Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Bookham Baptist Church fits best if your work advances the Christian message, improves education for people in poverty overseas, or supports social justice, since those are its stated themes.
- The annual report shows a typical grant of £1,000 to £10,500, and the median is about £2,550, so a modest request in that band is realistic.
- The church has no published application process, so start with the contact shown for getting in touch, and aim to reach the church before its meeting reviews its giving each year.
- Giving is tied to close connections with its membership, so a link to the church or its people will probably count for more than a cold approach.
