Christ Church Orpington
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Christ Church Orpington's grants are small: about 8 in 10 of its 20 grants to organisations fall between £300 and £1,800, with a median of about £1,250, so a modest request fits its usual pattern, although its largest named grant was £2,250.
- Its grants go mainly to Christian mission and church-related organisations and to work in poverty relief, homelessness and community food support, so your application is most likely to be a fit where your work overlaps those areas.
- The annual report shows grants mainly in Bromley, Tanzania and London, but no geographic focus is stated, so do not assume an area limits who may apply.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to get in touch using the contact shown and ask how it takes requests.
- No exclusions or eligibility rules are stated, and a further £1,515 was given in grants the report does not itemise, so the named list is not the whole picture.
