Garstang Free Methodist
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Garstang Free Methodist's stated themes are Christian mission work, so a request should show how the project serves that purpose or the church's own charitable work.
- Its stated priority areas are Garstang, Greece, Hungary and Ukraine, so a project in one of those places is the clearest fit.
- Most of its grants to organisations are modest: about 8 in 10 of its 13 grants fall between £300 and £13,500, with a median of £650, though its largest grant was about £39,000, so a modest request is realistic.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown for getting in touch to ask whether it accepts applications before writing a full proposal.
