Elim Foursquare Gospel Alliance
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Alliance's grants fit work that is overseas mission or relief, and grants to outside bodies are made only where they are compatible with its objective of spreading the Gospel, so a request should show that link plainly.
- The annual report gives annual giving of £2,984,394 in the year to 30 September, but it does not state a grant range, so do not assume a size; ask the charity what it would consider.
- No application process is published, so contact the charity first to check interest before you write a full request.
- Relief funding goes only to receiving charities vetted by the International Missions Department and approved by the National Leadership Team, and political organisations and individuals outside its ministry or poverty and hardship work are not eligible.
- How competitive or relationship-led its giving is cannot be judged from the published material.
