Key takeaways

  • Your work fits best if it furthers Christian mission in the Kennington benefice or supports the mission charities the parish backs, since that is the stated theme and purpose.
  • The annual report gives no usable grants figure and no grant range is stated, so the annual report does not show what size of request is realistic, and it is worth asking the foundation before you set a figure.
  • Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but the foundation's stated route is responding to emergency grant applications as they arise, so a pressing, urgent need is the case its stated route describes.
  • Barbados, Kenya and Colombia are its stated priorities, which is a focus for its giving rather than a limit on who may apply.
