Key takeaways

  • Your work fits best if it promotes the Gospel in Europe through local churches, missionary support, church planting, Christian literature or theological education, and if it is carried out with evangelical Christians and churches that share the funder's doctrinal convictions; work outside Europe falls outside its stated focus.
  • Neither the annual report nor its website gives a grant range or a published application process, so it is not clear what size of request it expects, and it is sensible to make an initial enquiry through the contact it shows before writing a full request.
  • Its stated approach is long-term and relationship-led, with an emphasis on building trust, so a sustained conversation may matter more here than a one-off cold submission.
  • Any grant supports work promoting the Christian religion and may be subject to restrictions imposed by original donors, so organisations whose work is not evangelical Christian, or is not directed to the Christian religion, should not expect to fit.
