Key takeaways

  • Friends of Johannesburg Bible College supports one Bible college in South Africa, with its money directed to the college's operational costs, student bursaries and one-off capital projects.
  • A small nonprofit is likely to fit only if its own work is biblical ministry training in southern Africa.
  • The annual report shows £597,025 paid out in its latest year, but no grant range is stated, so a request should be shaped around the college's stated needs rather than a typical amount.
  • No application process is published, and the only route given is the contact shown, so a short enquiry is the sensible first step.
  • The annual report and register entry do not show how competitive or relationship-led its giving is, and no exclusions or eligibility rules are stated, so nothing published rules anyone out.
