East London Tabernacle Baptist Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its grants must advance the Christian faith or relieve poverty, and it does not fund purposes beyond those, so organisations whose work serves other purposes should not apply.
- Its main focus is East London, but its objectives say primarily but not exclusively, so the area is a priority rather than a rule.
- Neither the annual report nor its website publishes an application process, so the first step is to contact the church using the contact shown there.
- The annual report states no upper or lower limits and no grant range, and total giving was £28,096, with £625 going to individuals, so a modest, clearly costed request is a sensible starting point.
- Trustees weigh need and whether a gift fulfils the charitable objectives, but neither the annual report nor its website says how competitive or relationship-led the process is.
