St Barnabas Cambridge
At a glance
Key takeaways
- This is a church's mission budget, so it suits work that fits its stated vision of external mission in the UK and overseas.
- Its recorded recipients range from an overseas mission organisation and a Bible-translation organisation to a UK homelessness project, and its stated priority is the UK.
- Most of its grants are small: the typical band is £100 to £7,500, with a median of £500, so a modest request is realistic, though that band is not a ceiling.
- Neither its annual report nor its register entry publishes an application process, so contact the church first, and expect allocation to run through an internal committee under an agreed budget.
- No exclusions or eligibility rules are stated, and nothing is said about timing or how competitive it is.
