Festival of Life
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Festival of Life directs its giving to partner ministries, charitable organisations and community initiatives that align with its Christian values, so work with no connection to the Christian faith is unlikely to fit.
- Its annual giving of £34,260 is small, so a modest request is more realistic than a large one.
- No application process is published, so use the contact shown to ask whether your work fits before you send a full proposal.
- When you write, show how your work aligns with the charity's mission and objectives, its proven or potential impact, and how you manage finances and accountability, since those are the points the trustees weigh.
- The grant range is not stated, so ask about timing and size rather than assume them.
