Community of the Resurrection
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The funder's stated priorities are South Africa and Zimbabwe, and its reported giving centres on church support, young people in Zimbabwe and Anglican sisterhoods, so work in those places or themes is the clearest fit.
- The annual report shows £16,000 awarded in its latest year, and no grant range is stated, so a modest request tied to a clearly defined project is the realistic starting point.
- It accepts applications on a rolling basis, so there is no deadline to plan around, and requests are judged on their merits, in line with its charitable purposes and the criteria of the particular fund.
- Some requests come through individual brethren who suggest projects, so a short, clear approach that explains how the work fits its themes is sensible, though the source does not say how competitive funding is.
- No exclusions are stated, so no organisation should be ruled out, but a request outside its priority areas and themes may fit less well.
