Gorsley Baptist Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated focus is the United Kingdom, and its giving centres on global mission, so a request works best if it shows a link to Baptist mission bodies or Christian mission and service work.
- Typical grants fall between £500 and £2,700, with a median of £1,000 and a largest of about £3,300, so a modest request in that range is in line with its giving.
- Its annual report does not say how applications are made or when decisions are taken, so the sensible first step is to make contact and ask.
- The annual report does not say how many organisations apply or how competitive the funder is, and no exclusions or eligibility rules are stated, so there is no group it says should not apply.
