Parish of Finchampstead & California
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The stated priority is the UK and overseas, and the giving goes to other organisations doing mission work or humanitarian relief and development, so groups working in those areas are the best fit.
- The annual report gives one total of £20,512, which may include grants to individuals, and no grant range is stated, so ask the funder what size of request it would consider.
- No application process is published, so the practical route is to get in touch using the contact shown.
- Nothing published says when giving happens or how competitive it is, so ask about timing when you make contact.
- Groups whose work falls outside mission and humanitarian relief and development are unlikely to match the funder's stated purposes.
