Oxford Bible Church Trust LTD
Key takeaways
- Its stated purpose is to advance the Christian faith and relieve hardship, and its giving centres on missionary work and Christian education, so a request should show a clear link to one of those.
- Its annual report and register entry give no grant total or grant range, so a realistic size cannot be judged from its annual report, and a modest first request is the safer starting point.
- Its annual report and its website publish no application process, so the contact shown is the place to begin.
- The trust says it looks for a good track record and supervision when choosing who receives donations, so a request should set out the applicant's record and how the work is overseen.
- Groups whose work has no connection to the Christian faith, missionary work, Christian education or relief of hardship are unlikely to find a match.
