HTL Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated theme is Christian mission, so the work fits best where it is clearly Christian ministry or mission, and its stated priority is throughout the world.
- Most of its grants to organisations fall between £660 and £4,000, with a median of £1,500, so a modest, clearly costed request suits it best; its largest grant was £4,500.
- Its website and annual report publish no application process beyond the Small Gifts for Mission fund, which is open only to congregation members, so anyone outside the congregation should not apply to that fund and should check the annual report or its website before writing in.
- Its Small Gifts transfers are calculated as 11% of total congregation giving, including Gift Aid, so the amount available depends on what the congregation gives.
