France Mission
At a glance
Key takeaways
- France Mission's giving is aimed at evangelical churches and workers in France, and nearly all of its grants go to churches or workers connected to its principal mission partner, Perspectives, so an applicant with no link to that network should expect little chance.
- Most of its grants fall between £440 and £13,000, with a median of about £2,650 and a largest grant of about £26,500, so a modest request near the middle of that band is the realistic size to ask for.
- The annual report publishes no application process, so the sensible first step is to contact the charity using the contact it shows, and to ask about its approach before writing a full request.
- The annual report does not say how competitive or how timed its giving is, so a small group should not assume a fixed round or a wide open door.
Overview
France Mission is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1176433).
France Mission is a charity registered in England and Wales that began when a few British Francophiles set up a charitable trust to help support the work of evangelical churches in France. Its vision is to see increasing numbers of people in France encountering God through the work and witness of local evangelical churches. Nearly all of its grants go to churches or workers directly connected to its principal mission partner, the French church grouping known as Perspectives, while its general funds and appeals support church building and other projects that help achieve its goals.
