Mission India
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Mission India funds work only in India, so a project based elsewhere falls outside what it does.
- Its themes are Children's Bible Clubs, adult literacy, church planter training and relief support, and it works through local partners who assess applications to run individual programmes.
- Neither the annual report, its register entry nor its website publishes an application process, so the contact shown on its profile is the route to take, and it is worth asking how its partners take on new projects.
- The annual report gives one total of £280,039 awarded, which may include grants to individuals, and no grant range is stated, so size any request to a specific programme rather than to that total.
- Neither the annual report nor its website says anything about timing or how competitive its funding is.
Overview
Mission India is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1076598).

It began with a partnership between passionate Christians in India and a founder from Michigan. Its main programmes are Children's Bible Clubs, Adult Literacy Classes, Church Planter Training and Relief, and these were created by Indians for Indians. In its latest annual report it awarded £280,039 in total.
