Gas Street Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Gas Street Church's stated priorities are church planting and resourcing in Birmingham, and extending Jesus' Kingdom to vulnerable children, so work that clearly fits one of these has the strongest case.
- About 8 in 10 of its 16 grants to organisations fall between £2,500 and £15,000, which is the typical band rather than its full range; the median is £5,000 and the largest was £35,000, so a modest request in that band is a realistic target.
- The material gives no published application process, and its approach combines selected Missional Partners with discretionary one-off gifts, so a short approach explaining how your work fits its mission principles and priorities is the sensible first step.
- Its published information gives no timetable and says nothing about how competitive it is, so expect an open-ended wait and do not rely on a grant being offered.
