St Ebbe's Church Oxford
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The funder's stated priority is the UK, and its mission giving is Christian, but its external giving is restricted to ongoing support for mission partners it already has, so a new organisation should not expect to fit.
- The information published gives no grant range and no application process, so there is no basis for sizing a request; ask the church first whether it supports new partners before writing anything.
- Decisions are made through its UK and overseas mission groups and a local congregation committee, so a relationship with the church is likely to matter more than a formal application.
- Its mission budgets are set from the previous year's regular giving, so it may help to know how that giving is going before you approach.
- The St Ebbe's Hardship Fund is separate: anyone involved with St Ebbe's or living in its parish can apply to it.
