St Barnabas Kensington
At a glance
Key takeaways
- St Barnabas Kensington's giving is church-based: its stated themes are local churches, church planting, church revitalisation, wider mission and Christian charities, and it gives to mission partners, other Christian charities and individuals.
- Its stated priority is France and Europe, so a project outside that focus is unlikely to match.
- Typical grants fall between £30 and £7,000, with a median of £3,000, and that band describes typical grants rather than a ceiling.
- No application process is published in the annual report, its register entry or its website, so make a brief enquiry before preparing a full proposal.
- It has reported only five named grants, so a lack of past giving to your type of work is no reason to hold back.
