New Ground Churches
At a glance
Key takeaways
- New Ground Churches is a faith-based funder, and the annual report names churches and Christian networks among its grant recipients, so a church or Christian network project, or one relieving sickness, financial hardship or poor health, is the closest match to its themes.
- About 8 in 10 of its 11 grants to organisations fall between £6,000 and £20,000, with a median of £12,000, so a request in that range is typical, though the largest grant was about £21,000.
- The annual report does not say how to apply, so contact the charity directly before writing a full application, and note that it also works through partnerships with charities that have similar objectives.
- Its giving is on a small scale, so a well-matched, modestly sized request is more realistic than a large one.
