At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- This funder suits a Christian ministry or organisation with an existing working link to Cornerstone Church, Brighouse, since its giving is for charitable Christian work and it says it supports people and organisations it knows.
- Its annual report gives total annual giving of £9,585, and no grant range is stated, so any request should be modest and sized to that pool rather than assumed to match a typical grant.
- It takes applications by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so the sensible first step is to build a relationship with the church rather than send a cold application.
- Its stated priority is Brighouse and the surrounding neighbourhood, though its focus is primarily rather than exclusively local, and its trustees and finance team review giving annually, so any need is best raised through an existing contact rather than a set deadline.
- Organisations without an existing link to the church should not send an unsolicited application, as the church does not accept them.
