Key takeaways

St Andrew's funds Christian charities and missionaries whose work reaches beyond the local area, and its Mission Fund supports missionaries in the UK and overseas, so a charity outside that Christian mission is unlikely to fit.
Its typical grants are £525 to £2,500, with a median of £1,000, and the annual report lists 9 named grants to organisations.
It does not accept unsolicited requests, and charities are nominated by the congregation and chosen by a vote at the AGM, so a warm, existing connection to the congregation matters more than a cold application.
Because a charity must normally take a year out after three consecutive years of support, a first grant should not be planned as a recurring income stream.

What they fund

Priority Areas

The charity advances the Christian faith and provides funds to support Christian charities and missionaries whose geographical remit is wider than the local area served by the church. Its Mission Fund provides financial support to Christian missionaries working in the UK and overseas. The congregation also nominates charities to receive donations from the church’s general funds, with beneficiaries selected by a vote at the AGM. The church supports three missionary partners through prayer and regular financial support. Its reported charitable giving has included a local schools-work charity, missionary organisations and national charities. The giving therefore combines Christian mission with congregation-selected charitable donations.
