Key takeaways
- St Andrew's Church, Chorleywood, is a church charity whose grants support mission work outside its parish, along with other charities in the UK and overseas, so the fit is closest for mission-focused work.
- It does not accept unsolicited requests, and the PCC selects beneficiaries once a year under the guidance of its Missions Committee and Mission Finance Group, so the only route in is by invitation.
- Direct overseas grants go only to organisations that a member of the congregation has personally vetted and that have reported on how earlier grants were used, so an overseas organisation without that link should not expect a direct grant.
- The annual report gives no grant range or typical size, so ask the church what it would consider before setting an amount or writing a full proposal.
