Cornerstone Baptist Church Leeds
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Cornerstone's giving is aimed at Christian organisations and at individuals connected with the Church who are training for or exercising Christian ministry, so work outside that field is unlikely to fit.
- Its priority area is given as around Leeds, then the UK and the world, and its organisational grants cover mission, Baptist activities, chaplaincy, ecumenical work, homelessness and vulnerability, and work with students.
- Typical grants fall between £89 and £4,500, with a median of about £475, though its largest grant was £6,000, so a modest request fits its usual pattern.
- Its annual report publishes no application process, so the sensible first step is to get in touch using the contact shown, and do not assume a grant will be repeated, since the charity does not assure that for any grant.
- Its published details do not say how competitive it is or when it considers requests.
