Community of St Andrew
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Your organisation is most likely to fit if it is a church body or a charity whose objects are in keeping with the Community's own aims, which centre on the work of deacons and deaconesses in the Church of England and on women in the Church of England.
- Its annual report gives annual giving of £117,850, which the register does not confirm, and it states no grant range, so there is no published guide to request size; keep any ask modest and tied to a specific project, since the Community says it carefully monitors supported projects to ensure funds are used effectively.
- Neither its annual report nor its register entry describes a way to apply, so any first contact would be made without a published process.
- The Community names a national priority, and it describes its giving as continuing its existing purpose, so do not read it as an open competitive round.
- Organisations whose objects are not in keeping with the Community's aims are unlikely to fit.
