Revitalise Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Revitalise Trust is most likely to fit an organisation whose work falls within its objects, which are the establishment, renewal and revitalisation of churches and the relief of hardship and distress, as its themes of church planting, leadership development and community support show.
- Most of its named grants fall between £1,000 and £50,000, with a median of about £17,500 and a largest named grant of about £62,500, so a request in or near that range is a realistic starting point.
- No application process is published, so get in touch through the contact the charity shows before writing a full request, and note that grants are made at the board's discretion against established criteria that are not described.
- No geographic focus is stated, though the annual report shows grants mainly in Margate and London, so location alone should not rule you out.
- Organisations whose activities do not accord with the Trust's objects should not apply.
