Trust Property and Funds held in connection with St Columba’s Church and Congregation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated priorities are Scotland and Greater London, with first call going to the work of its church and then to Church of Scotland work, so a small nonprofit whose work is church-related or based in those places has the clearest fit.
- The annual report publishes no application process and no grant range is stated, so the sensible first step is to get in touch through the contact shown and ask how to proceed before sizing a request.
- Of the £57,405 it paid out, £17,524 went to individuals, and its themes include support for needy people, so a charity working in that area may find a fit.
- Nothing published says anything about timing or how competitive its grants are, so treat both as unknown.
