Citygate Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Citygate Church's stated giving covers Christian mission, including church planting, leadership training and sharing the Gospel, along with poverty relief, emergency food, family support, addiction support and anti-human trafficking work, so a charity working in these areas should consider it.
- The annual report gives total giving of £48,011, but no grant range is stated and the report may include grants to individuals, so the annual report does not show what a realistic request would be.
- The church says it makes grants to organisations and individuals it has long-standing relationships with, and no application process is published, so the most sensible first step is an introduction through the contact shown rather than a formal application.
- No deadlines are published, so timing cannot be planned from the published material.
