Key takeaways

  • Its work centres on the traditional Latin Mass and priestly studies, so a project in those areas is the clearest fit, and work well outside them is unlikely to match.
  • Typical grants reported in the annual report fall between £500 and £6,000, with a median of about £2,800, so a request near that median suits its pattern.
  • No application process is published in the annual report, its register entry or its website, so the sensible first step is to use the contact given there to ask whether a request would be considered.
  • The annual report shows grants mainly in England and Southwell, but no geographic focus is stated, so organisations elsewhere should ask rather than assume they are excluded.
