This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- This funder does not accept unsolicited requests, so organisations outside the church community should not apply.
- Applications are invited from the church community at the Annual Church Parochial Meeting, so the practical step is to make contact with the church rather than send a speculative proposal.
- Any project must fit the church's mission, which covers people of all faiths and none, environmental work, social impact projects and an innovative creative programme, and it must show a clear relationship with the church and explain how the money will be used.
- The annual giving is £4,353 according to the annual report, so a modest request fits a budget of this size.
- A small PCC-appointed committee reviews applications and the PCC makes the final decision, so the process is internal and relationship-led.
