Key takeaways

  • This foundation fits work on church buildings, their repairs and improvements, and religious services connected with Richmond Parish Church, with other churches in Richmond supported within the same purposes.
  • Its stated purposes are narrow, so a project outside church buildings, their upkeep and religious services is unlikely to match what it says it funds.
  • The annual report shows £1,060,200 awarded, but the register does not confirm that scale and the grant range is not stated, so a realistic request size cannot be set from the annual report and register entry; its fixed annual appropriations total £1,200.
  • No application process is published, so start with a short enquiry through the contact shown for getting in touch, and ask about timing and how decisions are made, as the annual report and register entry say nothing on either.
  • Its stated geographic priority is Parish Of Richmond.
