Key takeaways
- The Crisis Fund supports UK organisations whose work fits the charity's aims of relieving poverty, caring for the sick, providing education and advancing Roman Catholic teaching, so a project in one of these areas is the kind it considers.
- Its stated priority places are Minsteracres, Bolton, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, London, Belfast and Dublin, and it prefers projects in places where the Sisters have worked or have a presence, so check that link before you write.
- The charity takes applications by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so an organisation without an invitation should not send an application.
- Its annual giving is £17,699 and no grant range is stated, so there is no stated basis for sizing a request; expect your project and its managers to be checked, and be ready to account for how any money is used.
