St James Mar Thoma Church, London
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated aim is evangelistic and charitable work in the United Kingdom and abroad, with India as a priority, so a request tied to that work fits its focus.
- Its typical grant is £500 to £1,000, with a median of £500, so a modest request in that range is the realistic size to ask for, though its largest grant is not reported.
- No application process is published, so the practical first step is to use the contact details shown for getting in touch.
- The annual report gives one total of £14,735, which may include grants to individuals, and only part of its grants list could be checked, so the picture of its giving is incomplete.
- Nothing published says how competitive it is or whether it takes unsolicited applications.
