Godalming Minster
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- Godalming Minster awarded £3,800 in grants in its latest annual report, and no grant range is stated, so the figures give little guide to what size of request might succeed.
- Its giving runs through an outward giving group, a Special Collections Fund for nominated organisations and a Minster Family Support Fund for people in need, and the annual report shows grants mainly in Nazareth, though no geographic focus is stated.
- The charity takes applications by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is not the route it describes.
- A grant writer should first look for a way into the Minster's own giving, such as a connection to its outward giving group or to a nominated organisation, before approaching it.
