At a glance
Key takeaways
- Your work fits if it is Christian mission carried out by an organisation or by a church member, which is the only eligibility given.
- The Geographic focus is throughout the world, so location is not a barrier.
- The annual report gives annual giving of £20,000, with £4,280 to individuals, but no grant range is stated and the register has not confirmed that scale, so ask what size of request is realistic before you set a figure.
- No application process is published, so get in touch through the contact shown before writing a full proposal, and expect the PCC to evaluate each case before awarding a grant.
- If your work is not mission work, the funder's stated eligibility does not cover it.
