Cirencester Baptist Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Cirencester Baptist Church's giving is limited to national and international Christian organisations and societies, and to other organisations whose charitable objectives complement its work, so a group with no Christian or closely aligned purpose should not apply.
- The church publishes no application process, and the contact it lists is for getting in touch, so a short enquiry to check fit before writing a full proposal is sensible.
- Its annual report gives one total of £87,385 awarded, which may include grants to individuals, and no typical grant size is stated, so size any request to the church's stated aims rather than to that total.
- The church names one success factor: an organisation's aims and objectives should be compatible with its own charitable purpose, so make that link explicit.
- Its Mission Overseas Support Team has a small budget and is keen to enable young people, so Christian work overseas by young people may be a particular fit.
