St John's
At a glance
Key takeaways
- St John's is a church, so its giving fits best if your work is Christian ministry training, Christian outreach or support for mission partners, the three themes it names.
- Its typical grant falls between £750 and £23,500, with about 8 in 10 of its 12 grants to organisations in that band and a median of £9,200, so a request in the low to mid thousands sits within what it usually gives, though its largest grant was about £59,500, so that band is not a ceiling.
- The annual report does not state a geographic focus; its grants have mainly been in Kent and London, but that describes where the money has gone so far, not who may apply.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to contact the charity, and it says its links with like-minded mission partners matter to its giving, so a relationship may count for a good deal.
- The information available sets out no exclusions or eligibility rules, so it does not rule any organisation out.
