Key takeaways

  • Emmanuel Church Oxford's stated themes are churches, church planting and mission projects, and it describes partnering with local charities in Oxford and serving the poorest and most disadvantaged, so a request that fits those aims is the strongest match.
  • Its seven named grants to organisations have typically fallen between £100 and £20,000, with a median of about £1,350, so a modest request sits well within what it has given.
  • No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to get in touch through the contact it shows.
  • Its approach is described as relational and partnership-based, so a conversation before a formal request may suit it.
  • Its grants have mainly gone to Oxfordshire, but no geographic focus is stated, so treat that as a pattern in its giving, not a rule about who may apply.
