St Aldates Church
At a glance
Key takeaways
- St Aldates Church's giving centres on evangelism, discipleship and social transformation, and it names Oxford, the UK and international work as its focus, with grants going to Christian charities and individuals.
- The most it can approve on its own is £6,000 for mission, and larger grants need the PCC's authorisation.
- Mission partners and associates can receive up to £5,000 each over a number of years, so a modest, clearly costed request fits better than a large one.
- No application process is published, so make a short enquiry through the contact shown before sending a full proposal.
- The Mission Committee seeks to balance its giving between local, national and international projects and across Ministry, Maturity and Mercy, so show where your work sits within that balance.
