Key takeaways

  • Community Churches Connected gives through relationships: its annual report says gifts go to people and organisations the churches already have an ongoing relationship with, so a cold approach may not suit.
  • Its website describes a family of churches in North Hampshire and South Berkshire, so a group already connected to those churches is the best fit to test.
  • No application process is published, so start with the contact shown to ask whether your work fits before sending a request.
  • The six itemised grants to organisations ran from about £1,900 to £77,500, with a median of about £5,400, so a modest request near that middle is the most realistic size.
