Chanctonbury Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its typical grant runs from £2,800 to £5,000, with a median of £3,000, so a request near that size fits its usual pattern, though this band is not a ceiling.
- Its stated themes are overseas mission partners, local charitable organisations, and hardship and food support, and its geographic focus is given as a priority for the UK, so a request in one of these areas is the clearest fit.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and proposals go to its Giving Team, which decides who and what to support.
- The annual report itemises only the named grants and also records a further £3,982 in grants it does not list, so the full picture of its giving is larger than the named list shows.
- No exclusions or eligibility rules are stated, so do not assume you are ruled out, and the annual report says nothing about how competitive or relationship-led its giving is.
