Müllers
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- Müllers does not accept unsolicited requests, so the first step is to contact its team or arrange a meeting to discuss becoming a Müllers Church Partner.
- Its grants go to Christian workers and organisations, and its themes are orphan and widow care, youth ministry, Christian mission and education support, so a group whose work sits clearly in those areas is most likely to fit.
- Its Next Gen Ministry Fund is open only to Church Partners, and the grant range is not stated, so ask the team what size of award to expect rather than guessing.
- Approval depends on trustees agreeing that the work continues to fulfil the charity's objectives, and the charity values regular communication, so this is a relationship-led route rather than a competitive open round.
- Groups that are not Christian, or that cannot commit to ongoing contact, are unlikely to suit this funder.
