Key takeaways

  • St Augustine's Abbey, Chilworth exists to advance the Roman Catholic faith, so work with a clear link to that faith is the main fit, and its stated focus is Great Britain and Ireland.
  • Its annual giving is small, at £7,314 in its latest annual report, and the support it describes is small ad hoc donations and educational sponsorship, so a modest request is more likely to fit than a large one.
  • No application process is published, so the only route shown is to use the contact in its annual report, register entry or website.
  • Its giving is described as ad hoc and at the trustees' discretion, but its annual report, register entry and website do not show how decisions are made or how competitive they are.
  • Organisations whose work has no connection to the Roman Catholic faith are unlikely to fit its stated object.
