Key takeaways

Every Life is a Christian charity that works with people living in poverty, combining immediate help such as food and emergency support with longer-term work on health and nutrition, education and skills, and community development, so projects in those areas fit its work best.
Most of its grants fall between £125 and £86,500, with a median of about £12,000, so a request of that order is a typical size to consider, though the band is not a limit because its largest grant was about £160,000.
No application process is published, so the first step is to use the contact it shows for getting in touch.
Applicants should weigh whether they are comfortable with its Christian faith and its stated approach of sharing that faith, and should be ready to report regularly on how any money is used, since its mission bases are expected to do the same.
