Selsdon Baptist Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Selsdon Baptist Church describes its grants as mission support, with themes of overseas mission and global justice, so a request that links clearly to those areas is the most natural fit.
- Its named grants have mostly been small: about 8 in 10 of its 19 grants to organisations fall between £210 and £10,500, and the median was £780, so a modest request is the realistic size, though that band is typical rather than a ceiling.
- Its annual report publishes no application process, so the sensible first step is to get in touch using the contact shown before sending anything formal.
- Its stated geographic priority is Croydon, so a clear local connection will help.
- No exclusions are stated, so the main things to judge are the fit with its mission focus and the likely size of your request.
