Sisters of Christian Education
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Sisters of Christian Education's stated objects centre on advancing the Roman Catholic religion and supporting children's education in line with Roman Catholic principles, so work with no link to Catholic education or religious life is unlikely to fit.
- The annual report shows about 8 in 10 of its 23 grants to organisations falling between £3,000 and £50,000, with a median of £15,000, so a request in that region is the realistic target, although the largest grant was £185,000 and that band is not a ceiling.
- No application process is published in the annual report or the register entry, so the sensible first step is to get in touch using the contact shown for that purpose and ask how it considers requests.
- No geographic focus is stated, and the annual report shows grants mainly in City of Durham and London, so a grant seeker elsewhere should not assume it is closed to them but should ask about this when making contact.
