Marian Fathers Charitable Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Your work fits this funder if it advances the Roman Catholic religion, which is the stated purpose, and the Geographic focus line gives the United Kingdom and worldwide.
- The annual report shows £5,945 paid in total, and no grant range is stated, so a modest request is more realistic than a large one.
- No published application process is given, so it makes sense to contact the trust first and ask how it considers requests before sending a full application.
- Trustees award grants at their discretion, and how competitive this is or whether relationships matter is not stated.
- Groups whose work falls outside the advancement of the Roman Catholic religion are unlikely to fit the stated purpose.
