Key takeaways

  • The Trust exists to advance the Christian faith and exercise Christian charity through grants, so a small nonprofit fits only if its work falls within that purpose and one of the categories it names: a Christian organisation whose purpose is only the advancement of the Christian faith, or a recognised charity engaged in the relief of illness, poverty, or moral or spiritual welfare.
  • The annual report puts annual giving at £701,690, but no grant range is stated, so you cannot judge a realistic request size from it; ask the contact shown before settling on an amount.
  • No application process or deadlines are published, so the practical first step is to get in touch.
  • The published notes list the same categories both as eligible and as excluded, so confirm with the Trust which applies before you apply.
  • The major part of its giving goes to Gold Hill Baptist Church, and the information available does not say how open the Trust is to other applicants.
