Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, Europe
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its grants are small: the typical band is £500 to £3,000, the median is £540, and about 8 in 10 of its 16 grants to organisations fall in that band, so a modest request fits best.
- The largest grant reported was £7,000, so the band is typical rather than a ceiling.
- Its stated themes are poverty relief, the Christian religion, pro-life activities and evangelism, so a request should show how it connects to one of them.
- No application process is published, so a short enquiry through the contact shown is the sensible first step before a full proposal.
- Its focus is recorded as national, and the annual report sets out no exclusions, so organisations should judge fit against its stated themes rather than assume they are ruled out.
