Church of the Living God Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Trust gives primary emphasis to furthering the Christian faith, so work with no connection to the Christian faith is unlikely to fit, although its objects also include relief of need and advancement of education.
- Its grants are usually modest: about 8 in 10 of the 12 grants to organisations fall between £515 and £3,450, with a median of about £1,400, so a request in that range matches its usual pattern, though its largest grant was about £35,500.
- No application process is published, so start with the contact shown for getting in touch rather than assuming a form or deadline exists.
- The annual report does not say how competitive its giving is, so treat your first approach as an enquiry rather than a guaranteed route to funding.
