Key takeaways

  • CBN United Kingdom's stated work is media evangelism, humanitarian outreach, discipleship and faith-based community development, with a priority on Europe, so a Christian charity whose project sits in those themes, especially child development in the former Soviet Union and Central Asia or children's work in churches using Superbook Academy resources, is the closest match.
  • The annual report shows £173,314 paid out, and the eight named grants to organisations range from £500 to £59,500 with a median of about £16,500, so a request near the middle of that range is the most realistic size; the report also records £4,621 in grants it does not itemise.
  • No published application process was found in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so a short initial enquiry is a sensible first step.
  • Nothing in the annual report or on its website sets out exclusions or eligibility, so a small nonprofit should not rule itself out, though a request well above the largest named grant would go beyond what the report shows.
