Jacob's Well Appeal
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated themes are medical aid, agricultural projects, education, disaster relief, Christian faith, poverty relief and environmental reuse, so a small charity working in one of these areas has a plausible link to its work.
- It publishes no application process, so the first step is to use the contact the charity shows for getting in touch and ask whether it is looking for new partners.
- It says it identifies new partners and projects and visits and talks regularly with key partners, so an existing relationship is likely to matter more than a written request.
- No grant range is published, so do not assume a size; the register shows £186,077 in grants to institutions in the last year with grants, and nothing in the newest year on the register, so ask what it might fund before naming a figure.
- No eligibility rules or exclusions are stated, so no type of organisation can be ruled out on the evidence given.
