Key takeaways

  • Its giving to organisations goes to mission partners connected with the church through a partnership or its members, so a group with that kind of link is the closest fit the annual report describes.
  • The annual report gives no grant range and no published application process, so contact the address shown before sending a formal request, and ask what size of gift it has made in the past.
  • Its hardship fund is for people suffering financial hardship, at the discretion of the Vicar and Church Wardens, so an organisation should not frame a request around it.
  • The PCC reviews mission partners each year against its vision and values, so describe your work in those terms and allow for that review when timing an approach.
