Manchester Diocesan Board of Education
Key takeaways
- A project that supports Christian education or nurture for children and young people in the Diocese of Manchester fits this funder's stated work.
- Its grants are credited to schools in the Diocese, so a non-school applicant or one working outside the Diocese should check with the Board before applying.
- The annual report gives no grant figure or grant range, so ask the Board what size of request is realistic rather than assuming one.
- No published application process was found in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so a short enquiry to the Board is the sensible first step.
- Each school's case is considered individually and only subject to funds being available, so raise the question of available funds early.
