At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- Christ Church Chorleywood takes applications by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered; seeking an introduction before writing is the sensible route.
- Its giving centres on Christian mission and on work that advances the Gospel and helps others, so a charity whose work fits that purpose is the natural match.
- Most of its organisational grants are modest: about 8 in 10 of its 29 grants fall between £255 and £7,400, with a median of £3,000, so a request near that level suits its usual pattern, though its largest grant was about £16,000 and that band is not a ceiling.
- Grants made directly overseas must be vouched for by a member of the congregation, so an organisation without such a link should not expect an overseas grant.
- Its General Mission Fund beneficiaries are selected annually by the Mission Action Group, so it is worth considering that annual cycle when deciding when to make contact.
Overview
Christ Church Chorleywood is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1129662).
Christ Church Chorleywood is a registered charity whose purpose is promoting the whole mission of the Church in its ecclesiastical parish. It gives largely through a General Mission Fund, which receives a minimum of 18% of unrestricted gift income and supports mission work outside the parish. It also makes occasional small grants from unrestricted funds and distributes restricted gifts for specific missions and projects.
What they fund
Priority Areas
Christ Church directs a minimum share of unrestricted gift income to its General Mission Fund, which supports mission work outside the parish. It also makes occasional small grants for other purposes and distributes restricted gifts for specified missions and projects. It regularly supports individual Mission Partners and Preferred Mission Organisations that advance the Gospel and help others. Its giving therefore reaches both individuals and organisations whose work advances the Gospel and helps people in the UK and abroad. The Mission Action Group selects the General Mission Fund’s beneficiaries annually under authority delegated by the PCC. For grants made directly overseas, organisations must be vouched for by a congregation member, and the PCC ensures evidence of safe receipt.
