Key takeaways

  • Work in the funder's listed themes (mission and evangelism, students and young adults, youth work, children's work, seniors ministry and creative arts ministry) is the clearest fit.
  • The annual report shows grants mainly in Bristol, Kitgum, Uganda and Indonesia, but no geographic focus is stated, so a group elsewhere should not assume it is ruled out.
  • A realistic request sits within the typical band of £500 to £5,850, since about 8 in 10 of its 15 grants to organisations fall there, and the median grant was £4,000.
  • No application process is published, and none was found in the annual report, its register entry or its website, so contacting the charity directly to ask how to apply is the sensible first step.
  • It takes a solely annual approach and gives mission partners no indication of future commitment, so a grant seeker should not plan on repeat funding from it.
