Navigators UK
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Navigators UK exists to advance Christian religion, and its grants go mainly to frontline Navigator representatives whose ministry is funded by partnerships with individuals and churches.
- Eligibility is narrow: in the UK, grants go to self-employed Navigator representatives, and overseas, to national Navigator organisations, so a small nonprofit outside those groups is unlikely to qualify.
- Its purpose is specifically Christian, so work that does not share that aim is unlikely to fit.
- No grant range is stated and no application process is published, and the only contact given, recruitment@navigators.co.uk, is for joining the team, so a funding enquiry should not rely on it.
- Trustees may make discretionary grants to representatives facing financial hardship that puts their ministry at risk, which is the one route a struggling representative might raise.
