Parish of Herne Hill
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Because the funder frames its giving around the parish's Christian mission and its named recipients include anti-poverty, education, international justice, Christian peace service and hospice care, show clearly how your work serves those aims or the local community.
- Its typical grants fall between £2,500 and £3,550, with a median of about £3,350, so a request near that size fits its usual pattern, though that band is not a ceiling.
- The annual report shows grants mainly in Lambeth, and no geographic focus is stated, so an organisation elsewhere should ask the funder before assuming it is out of scope.
- No application process is published, so get in touch first using the contact the funder shows.
- Do not apply to its Cost of Living Fund unless you are a regular member of one of the churches or live in the parish, since that fund is for those people and only after any government help has been sought.
