Duke Street Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Church Council makes donations to charitable organisations whose activities are sympathetic to the Church or are for welfare purposes, so a Christian mission or welfare charity is the natural fit.
- Organisations that are not charities are excluded, as are activities that are neither sympathetic to the Church nor for welfare purposes.
- Its typical grants run from £6,000 to £17,000, with a median of about £7,000, so a request in that region suits it.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown in the annual report or on its website to ask how to apply before sending a full proposal.
