St. George’s Church, Jesmond
At a glance
Key takeaways
- St. George's Church, Jesmond says it focuses its donations on local charities and the local work of larger charities, especially those with limited capacity for wide publicity, so a charity whose work is local and matches this focus is the best fit.
- Its typical grants fall between £500 and £1,000, so a modest request in that region suits it, though that band is not a ceiling.
- Neither its annual report, its register entry nor its website publishes an application process, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown to get in touch before writing a request.
- It makes substantial donations to a smaller number of charities, so expect few awards.
- Its annual report shows grants mainly in Newcastle upon Tyne and North Shields, but no geographic focus is stated, so do not rule yourself out on location alone.
